Breaking down everything there is to skate here would be impossible, and unnecessary at the same time given the fact that Parks Department Nazis patrol certain areas better than others. The only stuff depicted here is what can be skated while still avoiding them at the same time. Scattered along the waterfront, you'll find various granite ledges leading up or down to the bicycle track. Most can only be skated going down the ramp and not both ways. They are about thirty feet long, a foot and a half high, and around a foot wide on the top. Like everything else here, it is set up on perfect marble or granite ground. In addition to the abundance on ledges throughout the waterfront park, you'll find various stair sets, most of which are between sets of three and six, some of which have rather low kinked rails down them, ideal for doing tricks over, although nearly impossible for rail tricks because of the immense kink at the end. The standout object of the entire spot is a bank-like rock structure, with the top smoothed out, making it perfect for either regular bank tricks, manuals, stalls or launching off of onto the more mellow bank that sits at a forty-five degree angle next to it.

This spot, unlike most others, has the same bust factor throughout the entire day - whether you're skating it at 4 P.M. or 4 A.M. So it is best just to come here and try your luck, and either hide when you see the Parks Department Vans or just move to another portion of the spot when they roll up on you.

Between 8th Street and 14th Street on the Westside Highway. Take the A, C, E or L to 14th Street and skate west until you reach the water. Make a left and skate down, you'll find stuff to skate throughout that area.
