An Inside Look at 5050 Skatepark

March 5, 2015

Here’s an interesting video Network A dropped giving us a little insight into 5050 Skatepark. There’s not much for riding, but it’s still worth a look!

“Who woulda thought that nestled between the Stapleton Houses and the bleak waterfront of Staten Island would be New York City’s best indoor DIY skatepark? Not us so we trooped out to Shaolin to see 5050 Skatepark for ourselves. It turns out it’s true! But it won’t last for long so do yourself a favor and get there while you can. #SupportLocal on dose!

5050 Skatepark
354 Front St, Staten Island, NY 10304
