bellevue park

second avenue

Within this park, you'll find a wide assortment of smaller stair sets. In the center of the plaza is a set of three consecutive five sets, all of which are a bit longer than your typically five. The spacing between the first and the second is about twenty feet, but only about ten feet between the second and the third. At the top of the steps, on both sides, are two handicap ramps going down to the lower level. Running alongside both ramps are two-and-a-half foot high round rails that descend with the steps. Also on both sides of the parks are two sets of consecutive sets of four. There is only about eight feet between each set, and much like the fives, they are a bit larger than average four sets. Right outside on the park, on the 2nd Avenue side, is a long, very steep bank ideal for stalls or just cruising on. There's also a couple of two-foot high painted concrete ledges throughout the front of the building too.

27th Street and 2nd Avenue. Take the 4, 5 or 6 to 23rd Street, skate east for two blocks, make a left on 2nd Avenue and skate north for four blocks.

You'll never get kicked out of the park itself although during afternoon rush hour, there are a lot of people running through, The banks and the other stuff in front of the apartment building is typically hit or miss, depending on where the guard is at the time and whether he wants to come out to tell you to leave or not.
