Spots: Tribeca & West Village

Two sets of four, some curbs that rarely stay waxed, and a handicap rail people do tricks over — that a few brave ones have actually grinded or slid through. Park is usually crowded during any reasonable time of the day.
Bust — ♦♦♦♦♦: There is always a police presence in the park, but many officers will not hassle you for skating here, even though there are “No Skateboarding” signs posted. Just don’t rule out a cop giving you a summons or confiscating your board if he chooses to go out of his way. The park is also sometimes barricaded off after midnight.
Location: 14th Street and Broadway.
