Roc City Skatepark 241 South Avenue, Rochester, NY 14604

"Roc City Skatepark has many of the the common skatepark features: ledges, flat rails, banks, and quarter pipes. Other notable features include a small miniramp, a bowl, a curved ledge, and an A-frame. The park map says there is a manual pad, but it's on the tall side--more of a ledge. Most of the ledges are either in pairs or in the middle of a bank, so that they can be used by regular and goofy skaters. The rails are in the middle of the bank and a-frame, so they also can be used whether regular or goofy. The A-frame ledge and a 9-stair down ledge have transition and coping on the side, which is kind of uncommon. I didn't skate them, but they look fun. There are plenty of features for advanced skaters, such as the stairs, down rails and ledges, steep banks, and curved ledge. However, there are features for beginners, such as the small miniramp and a flat rail and ledge that are below knee height. Two of the down ledges and a down rail are mellow, which would be good for your first 50-50 or boardslide down something. The skatepark has lighting and it looks like it can be skated at night! But I was there during the day, so I can't confirm that the lights actually turn on. You can park behind the nearby Spectrum office. Follow the signs pointing to the Genesee Riverway Trail. There's plenty of parking, but the skatepark is a short ride or walk from the parking lot."

"Great free skatepark for everyone. Well built and maintained. I'd suggest parking on court street by Dinosaur BBQ and walking the path in."

"Wow! What an amazing skate park in the heart of Rochester next to the river walk and beautiful cityscapes. Our grandchildren love waterfalls, so we started our treck at the Court Street bridge near Dinosaurs Barbeque so we could view the falls created by the Court St dam on the Genesee river. As we walked on the river walk south we found the Roc City Skatepark. First of all, this is not your average rec center skatepark, it is large, steep and has various levels of difficulty. The side walls are so steep, deep and smooth that my grandkids decided to use it as slide park as no skaters were using it when we fist arrived. See photos. Although I was kind of an early adopter of skate board fun back in the 60s, we had no skateparks, so I appreciate how the city of Rochester created such an well crafted park in the heart of the city. If you skate board or just want a nice river walk with the entertainment of the talented and dedicated skate board athletes, check it out!"

"Great midsized park with street vert and bowl sections Locals are friendly, more younger kids during the day, but come 6:30 or so the average age is probably 20 or so. The cement is clean smooth and fresh, no cracks or crevices, and there are a few interesting features including the two level shamrock bowl, and the under the overpass 1/4 pipe"

"What an awesome addition to the city of Rochester! A well-constructed skatepark with many different features for skaters, scooter users, and BMXers of all skill levels! People were friendly and mostly wearing masks!"
