Spots: City Hall Area / Financial District
Update — Spring 2026: The entire zone directly attached to the World Financial Center with the triple sets of threes, has been demolished and is under construction.
Gino via The Chocolate Tour
Marble ledges and steps everywhere, a ledge to flatbar (backside for regular), and two round nine-stair rails against a wall.
The ride-on rail made famous by Lennie Kirk, Jake Johnson, et al. is at the northernmost part of the park. As is the three-up-three-down where Gino did the best nollie back heel ever done :)
It’d be the best spot in New York if you didn’t get kicked out of everything in two seconds.
Bust — ♦♦♦♦♦: There are “No Skateboarding” signs posted everywhere. The Parks Department cruises around in carts and will issue you a summons if they see you skating. Building security at the zone near the World Financial Center will also tell you to leave if they catch you, which is typically in a matter of minutes. Holidays have been known to grant good fortune.
Location: Alongside the Hudson River promenade behind the World Financial Center, but essentially spanning from Rector Street to Chambers Street.
