Courtesy of NY Skateboarding, Steve Rodriguez takes a walk around the recently opened skate park at Colemon Oval Park in New York. The new skate park was collaborative design built specifically to suit the unique character and demographic mix of the surrounding neighborhood. The park aims to, once again, become a landmark in the community and give the densely urban enthusiasts a chance to get out and realize their potential. See how Rodriguez rates the park below.
