They are an incredible organization that hosts adaptive sporting events for those with disabilities. Pier 62 Skate Park is pretty spectacular, featuring several massive skate bowls and a multitude ramps of while providing awesome views of the hudson. Even if you don't skate or have the opportunity to volunteer at a similar event, this park is perfect for people watching and just taking in the action. It was my first time here but definitely won't be my last!

I'm definitely going back to try to get more photos. Skateboarding action photos are fun. It's fun to watch. Can you believe when I was in middle school and high school I had a skateboard. My first one was handmade out of wood using roller skate wheels. Am I Old or what!? I recommend you bring your skateboard and go to Pier 62 to have fun.

One side of the U is steeper than the others and the transition could be smoother. Overall a lot of fun to ride nice flow, some 2 board gaps, the locals seem pretty chill.

If you need a skateboard or you just want to skate, you need to come to 2nd Nature! The only thing that was bad about it, was that one day I was skating by myself and the guy came out and said they were closing, but when I got home I went on their website and they'll be open for another hour. Just because I was the only one there and he just wanted to go home.

What do I know about skate parks, not much, but I know a lil bit…read more This skate park is situated underneath the Manhattan Bridge and is across from the water (beautiful view in my opinion). The hours are from 8:00 am to 10:00 pm. *Whether you came to play, support, or jeer at the people skating better than you, there are plenty of spots/benches to rest your feet inside the park. First thing I noticed was that there is more space for the skaters and bmxers than the Bay Ridge skate park (awesome sauce). I saw one dude on rollerblades, umm yeah but I digress haha. Although it seems crowded, the space seems optimal for noobs and intermediate skaters. The concrete was smooth and there are plenty of spots (rails) to do your ollies, grinds, kickflips, and whatnots (not a real skater lingo). I will definitely take my bro here and see what he has to say. Kudos to NYC Parks & Recreation.

It's perfect to take pictures every step of the way if that's your thing. I signed up for the two-hour slot and showed my NYS library card and we paid $20 on a Sunday. It's even less on the weekday. Locals, take advantage of that. I wish we had local pricing throughout the city more often.

This skate plaza was built for the Maloof money cup comp back in 2010. It was graciously offered to NYC after the competition and the city gratefully accepted. It was designed by Steve Rodriguez and built by "California Skateparks" The location of the park may be hard to find for some while entering the park from its many entrances. The skate plaza is located near the astral fountain, adjacent to the new York state pavilion. The surface is really nice and smooth concrete and there is no attendant. The park can be skated from dawn till dusk.. Park lights slightly illuminate the park just enough to continue skating after hours. You can expect all the regulars here. Scooters, Boarders, Bladers and Bikers all here at once making the best of it. Pot heads lighting up joints and blunts, kids tagging up all over the place and basically anything goes here. We value the woman with the empanadas that rolls through every couple of hours to feed and keep us hydrated. The Muscle Milk truck rolls through regularly and Redbull also shows up sometimes to give us free promotional drinks for advertising purposes which is really nice. I personally love this park and would defend it with my life... keep that in mind if you decide to desecrate the park in my presence. (talking to you F$@$heads who write your tag all over everything)

It's peaceful, scenic, and perfect for a quiet walk, a photo session, or just relaxing with a coffee while enjoying the view. There's public parking, and depending on the day, you might even find an ice cream truck. A few blocks away, you'll find restaurants and cafes, making it a great stop before or after a meal. You can even walk or bike the entire stretch from Weehawken to West New York along the waterfront. Whenever I'm in the area, I make it a point to stop here even just for a few minutes. It never disappoints.

Weehawken to get to is sometimes a pain due to the congestion but the architecture surrounding this park is just a perk of the park itself. Victorian style Charmed looking houses and greenery everywhere. Highly recommend if you can come take in the view of this location. Bring a picnic blanket and your camera, well worth the drive!
