This could easily be the best spot in the city if the Third Reich weren't resurrected within the New York Parks Department.

This is probably the most perfectly designed plaza for skating the city has. It's nearly impossible to describe everything in it, but here's an attempt. There's endless marble ledges running along the bottom portion of the plaza on completely flawless ground, with step up ledges on the end that are skateable if you ride atop the ledge sitting on the surface. They may need wax considering this isn't a place that gets sessioned daily. There's other, somewhat lower, and significantly rounded marble benches with ends spread throughout the bottom of the park too. In the part extended from where the World Trade Center used to be, there's a set of three steps all right after each other, some with a four foot long marble ledge running across them. On the first set of three above from the ground there's a string of foot and a few inch high marble ledges running along as well.

Going north, you'll find the flatrail running alongside a slanted ledge featured in nearly every Zoo York video. It's backside for regular footed skaters and frontside for regular footed ones. It's around a foot and a half in height and runs down a forty foot long, three foot wide granite ledge.

Alonside the river, there's a seven set, two six sets and a four set, all with perfect runway, perfect landing, and rails along the side to do tricks over if you have pop. There's also a three stair pit at the bottom of the seven which can be skated either up or down, depending which direction you go. More northward, towards the now defunct "old school Battery Park" by Stuyvesant High School, there's a fully marble black three up, three down, with a two-and-a-half foot wide space on top to ride on.

This spot is the biggest hassle to skate out of any Manhattan spot. You have to constantly dodge Parks Department vans because it's very unlikely that you won't run into them. It's a big spot, so it's easy to spot them, and easier to move to a different portion of the spot when you run into them, but the fact that the spot's standout obstacles are wide out in the open makes it really annoying. They also constantly go on power trips, can take your board and give you fines if they want to (usually happens if they catch you). Whenever you see them, run away. Don't wait for them to come close and don't speak to them. Do not let them near your board if it's lying on the ground and run away if they try to write you a summons. The best time to skate is late night or early morning (meaning after 11 P.M. or 12 A.M, until about 8 A.M.) Major holidays like Christmas, New Year's, Thanksgiving, etc. have also been known to grant longer sessions because there are less Nazis working. If you're going to come during the day or the evening, it would be best to go during winter, late fall or very early spring, because the area is a big tourist attraction, meaning more security works during tourist season.

The entire Hudson River Waterfront in the Financial District/Southern Tribeca. Take the A, C, 2 or 3 to World Trade Center and skate towards the water.
