broadway park

corona

This is a spot that would probably be near perfect if 1) the ground wasn't horrible in most places and 2) it wasn't one of the most crowded spots in all of New York. The entire plaza is an assortment of various ball courts - some fenced in, and some out in the open, and children's playgrounds. All around the park are ton's of ledges, ranging from ankle height to above knee height, in all different shapes, sizes and set-ups. They are mostly concrete ledges, although some have heavy amounts of paint on them that has enabled wax to absorb into them and actually make a skateable ledge. Otherwise, the standout obstacle at this spot that you might recognize from some New York videos or older Metrospective clips is the ledge over the four. The ledge itself is about two feet high, and starts out ten feet before the actual four set comes about. The ledge is concrete, and repainted at least once a year, so it may need some waxing (there is no chance you're going to get this material to grind so don't count on it). It's under a foot in width so your board could fit over it for boardslides and lipslides.
On Elmhurst Avenue in Corona, Queens. Take the R, G, V or G train to Elmhurst Avenue and it's right outside the subway station.
The only thing you have to worry about is crowds of people. The Parks Department doesn't care if you skate here.
