Hoboken’s Castle Point Skate Park

Posted on 14. Mar, 2009 in Leisure

Don’t laugh. But back in the day, I owned a kick-ass Batman skateboard. However, I never really used it. Why? Probably because we never had any nearby skate parks. C’mon, I could have been the next Tony Hawk! If you’re looking to pickup this sport or if you can rock a half-pipe, check out this park. If skating isn’t your forté, this park is still worth a visit just to watch the fearless boarders pull off some nasty tricks.

For almost 2 years, Castle Point Skate Park has been the home of local skateboarders, rollerbladers and BMX bikers. Located along the Hudson River (between Elysian Park), skaters have the opportunity to showoff their crazy air tricks across the beautiful midtown Manhattan skyline.

VITALS

Skate Ponder

Hours of Operation: Sunrise to sunset. Hopping the fence isn’t allowed, but it happens.

Obstacles: 7 foot half pipe, 1 micro pipe, 7 foot quart pipe, 2 boxes, 2 banks, 2 roll in start points

Rules: Helmets required. Park is closed during inclement weather conditions. Obstacles cannot be brought into the park.

Location: 818 Sinatra Dr, Hoboken, NJ 07030. Take Sinatra Drive, as Stevens Institute of Technology blocks all east-west streets from getting there. (View Map)

SNAPSHOTS

After seeing these kids do some crazy acrobatic moves, I’m thinking about picking up skateboarding as a hobby. Seriously. No joke. In the meantime, I’ll just watch in awe and be inspired.

I was there a few weeks ago and the Skate Park was locked a sign that says “closed for repairs”. Does anyone have any info on when it might be reopening? According to a comment on http://hoboken411.com/archives/969 it seems like it’s been that way for a little while, with no signs of any progress.

Great Photos – as much as I like this place (as a spectator not a suicide rider…) you make it look much better. What’s next – Hoboken line of clothing (e.g. Brooklyn industries) featuring scenes from around town?
