You can take the bbcourt down if you'd like. If we build a park specific to everyone's hobbies then we'd be pretty stupid. Besides you can actually skate in a park.

There is one...
WTF are you talking about??? Is it not up to your suburban standards? If anything take the PATH 5 mins to Hoboken or over to the chelsea piers. Seriously Jersey Shitty has more issues to resolve than a skatepark (which we have anyways).

Agreed, This is not a priority here in the city when so many other things need to be addressed. Like crime, descent supermarkets, quality of life issues.
Try again in 2020.

Go to Hoboken or buy an old warehouse and build one. City doesn't have money to fulfill people's hobbies.

Yep, the roller hockey rink at Enos Jones Park (8th & Brunswick) usually has a couple dozen skaters out there on any given day. It used to actually be available for roller hockey as well, but the skaters have since taken over entirely.
http://goo.gl/maps/P1Ctk I suppose if you want something with a half-pipe or sunken pool you'll have to go to Hoboken.

There is a skate/scooter/bmx area for the kids in the roller hockey ring in the park by White Star.

Right now the city doesn't have a purpose-built park for skate-boarding, BMX bikes, and scooters. We need one. JC youth shouldn't have to go to Hoboken or Bayonne to sk8, though they've been pretty industrious in building "guerilla" parks here in JC.
Here's a FaceBook page on the topic: http://www.facebook.com/JerseyCitySkatePark

Well, I could be snarky and say things like why should vandals be awarded, even if they're "just going to do it anyway" or I don't notice a large amount of graffiti in Hamilton Park which I frequent daily. But rather I'll say I agree there should be a place they can do it legally. Why not make have of the link fence behind Enos Jones park wood for people to use? (the authorities might need some link fence to see thru to the underpass). I just wouldn't want to see the embankment turned into that and and that's a fair opinion. But as someone said before this has a 1 percent chance of ever happening and I think that's high. To debate a five year old study before the economy collapse on land it doesn't own and have to right to is a waste of time.

@pferm201, thanks for your support. We're talking about growing this city by realizing the potential of the people who live here.

thanks @stc4blues. you one of the few people who actually want to see this city grow into what it should be. unlike these idiots who hate anything different and "cool" being put in this city then complain why nothing ever worthwhile is ever built.
and to answer PBW, a city park is already a haven for graffiti artist so why not have an institution that allowes them to portray their art in a manner that doesn't destroy property.

What happened to that SK8 park?

Last week I posted a link to an ambitious (aka crazy in JCspeak) plan for a cultural corridor in Jersey City, built around a SK8 park and graffiti. Some of you were skeptical, a properly so. But some 60 or so actually took a look at that report. I you are one of those, you?re not alone.
Those of you who read it know that it: 1) builds on thinking and initiatives already in place, and 2) that it is not at all-or-nothing deal. It?s something that could, and should, be done in pieces. Will it happen, no. But some of the pieces. . . .
We do need a park for skateboarding and BMX-biking, a good one. MonsterIsland complained that SK8boarders have taken over, and ruined, the skate rink in Enos Jones park. I suppose so. But I note that that happened after the park they built themselves, albeit illegally, was destroyed by a developer who, naturally and properly, wanted to take possession of his property.
Here?s that story, what little of it that I could see from the outside. Guerilla SK8 Park in Jersey City: Part 1, and Part 2. I have placed a set of photos of that park in the New Jersey room of the public library.

I met you in the arches once. You're a pudgy weird guy with a backpack and a crappy point and shoot. Don't talk to me about trespassing, old man. I'd go on about how ridiculous of an idea this is if I thought there was even a 1% chance that it would happen.

Hey people,
It's not like ALL good things happen to the PEOPLE OVER THERE. And nothing good ever happens in Jersey City because JC is, like, the garbage dump of the universe. We're part of the good part, too, you know. Dream about something good for a change. It won't hurt, I promise.

Awesome dream.
Now, wake up to reality: just search for "Jersey City Museum" and see whether this town is up to the task. . . . Not saying it won't change, just that city government just isn't there yet.

@PBW: Not if enough people tell them differently. It's YOUR city, YOU live here. THEY don't own it. Don't let them rule it.

The city doesn't own the 6th street embankment.
If they ever do get it, they will most likely turn it into a light rail extension.

This proposal is completely asinine. World class graffiti because Rime went to Japan? Nevermind all the graffiti artists who might have a little problem with you broadcasting to the world where their semi-secret painting locations are.

Awesome. Does this mean the skaters will give us our hockey rink (Brunswick & Pavonia) back? It's pretty much been completely taken over by them, and has been destroyed pretty badly.

Jersey City: From a Skate Park to the World
A Cultural Corridor Through Downtown and Journal Square
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Jersey City has an unparalleled opportunity for developing park space and cultural amenities in a two-mile corridor running from the Powerhouse Arts District in the East, along the Sixth Street Embankment to the Palisades, then up the River Line to the Bergen Tunnel, and west through the Erie Cut-Bergen Arches to JFK Boulevard. What is unique about this strategy is that is builds on both abandoned railroad properties and on Jersey City?s status as a center for graffiti art of the highest caliber.* By capitalizing on its graffiti heritage, Jersey City can attract tourists from around the world and establish itself as an international center of cutting-edge art.
This development strategy includes three park-garden areas: 1) Sixth Street Embankment, 2) River Line Walk, and 3) Bergen Arches Erie Cut.
