Update - Summer 2007: A truck backed up into the main, long ledge here and knocked off the first two tiles of marble. So there is no longer a frontside for regular / backside for goofy end to the ledge here. It has been this way for several months and the people who manage the plaza have yet to fix it.

Perhaps one of the few ledge spots that you could potentially skate hassle free in Hudson County, this is the place to go if you're looking to learn a new grind or slide trick. The central ledge is a fifty foot long, foot and a half high bench with ends on each side. It is perfectly smooth marble that should require minimal waxing. Further down, there are ledges identical to this one, just not as long. Additionally, throughout the entire plaza you can find stairs of all sizes, from tens to threes, all varying in set-ups. The ground here is very smooth and perfect for a flatground session.

Across the street is a long, mellow, square flatrail that goes down a hill. It can only be skated frontside for regular footed people and backside for goofy footed ones.

This is typically a night spot, not because of the kick out possibility, but because of it being directly outside of a major public transportation center. There are usually a lot of people walking around and sitting on the ledges during the day, so it's best to avoid that time. Unless, of course, you are going in the middle of winter, when it's too cold for sane people to be chilling out here.
