Skate Gardens
The $11 million, 40,000 square foot Brooklyn Skate Garden is to be located in leafy Mount Prospect Park, on Eastern Parkway between the Brooklyn Public Library and Brooklyn Botanic Garden. That new visibility means growing pains: Even neighbors comfortable with skateboarding as a sport for more than malcontents are not used to seeing it in their parks, near their homes, their children, and their dogs. Neighbors in Park Slope may be comfortable with the vocabulary of pickleball and bioswales, but nobody has ever heard of a “skate garden.”
