police plaza
city hall area
This is one of the few solid rail spots you'll find throughout all of Manhattan. There are two rails: one down seven stairs and the other down five with about twenty to twenty-five feet of brick runway right by the giant red sculpture. These are the most frequently skated things here. Next to them, is a nine-stair rail, with an extensive runway. Next to the nine, there's a fourteen-stair rail, that's backside for regular footed skaters and frontside for goofy footed people with only about twenty-five feet of runway. Otherwise, throughout the park there's a bunch of sets of three steps, most with foot-and-a-half high, four-foot long granite ledges extending over them. The giant red sculpture could also be skated as a wallride, either from flat or over a three-stair rail onto it. If you have a death wish, you could skated the infamous Police Plaza sixteen, with a downhill runway and two handrails going down the side of it. Good luck.

This spot is half-and-half between whether you're going to get kicked out or not. Usually, it depends more on the cop whose kicking you out more than anything else, because some of them do not care what you do here. Typically, if you skate the actual rails, you're a lot more likely to get kicked out than if you just stayed on the ledges and smaller steps.

Chambers Street and Park Row, directly across from City Hall. You could take the 4,5, 6, J, M or Z to Brooklyn Bridge-City Hall and skate one block across the street towards City Hall or in back of the Courthouse, or you take the N or R to City Hall and cut through City Hall Park.
