GARDENSK8 Park

Amazing skatepark in New Jersey that is only 20 Minutes from New York City

Indoor Skateparks in NYC and JerseyCheck back soon for winter skateboarding trips from Manhattan
 

This park is amazing but tight. It’s about 1,200 square feet and every inch of space was well thought out.   These guys didn’t take a chance leaving anything out.  Not for newbies when it’s crowded, so go early if your learning because it’s a great place to learn if you have the space to figure it out. 

The Crew – The Regulars

I only met a few of the guys that worked there and they were cordial.  Great skaters too.  It was late, there were a few regulars and they were really good, but polite.  No snakes and only one small casualty-free collision. 

Indoor Skatepark - New York and New JerseyKILLER Bowl

This BOWL IS OFF THE HOOK - has 11 ½ foot deep end, 7 foot shallow and a roll in/out that connects to almost every line in the park.  All Pool coping though there’s a smaller 3 foot drop in that connects to the small bowl that it doesn’t have any coping.

Mini Ramps

There are two mini ramps, connected by a spine.  Also has a roll in that also connects to the vert ramp

Street Course

Ok this whole place is pretty much a street course, because the pool, the mini ramps and huge vert wall connect to a ton of clever obstacles, banks and barriers, stair set, rails, boxes.  It’s totally creative, and flows really well. 

Vert Wall

Then there’s the 12 foot vert wall.  Dude these guys just seem to float in the air when the backside this thing.  It’s really something to see…  (I did a little kick turn at the bottem.)
