Photos Saturday by Stacie Joy
Skateboarders in Tompkins Square Park got a pleasant surprise Saturday morning.
Early that day, a crew delivered a 15-inch-high granite ledge to the multipurpose courts/TF. (The ledge sits outside the main field and walking lanes, so it won’t need to be moved for field hockey leagues.)
As Quartersnacks first noted, this arrival was a collaboration among the Parks Department, Nike SB, The Skatepark Project and California Skateparks.
On Saturday morning, we spotted skaters lining up to test out the ledge … and start wearing down the edges.
As of yesterday, the Ledge remained the main draw here... and it was already showing a little wear...
