1044 University Ave, Rochester, NY 14607Description
Huge indoor skatepark with lots of options for skateboards and bikes. There are big ramps but also some mellow street obstacles and a 2’ miniramp. Multiple sizes of obstacles makes it a great place to learn new tricks. There’s a multi-level track that’s for bikes only. They had a resi ramp and foam pit at one point; unsure if they still do.

This is a fairly large skatepark. While it lacks an actual manual pad, the park has a decent variety of obstacles. In addition to the standard elements, there are mellow banks for beginners, and a big euro gap for advanced skaters. There’s some room for flat-ground skating in the corners of the park.

Canandaigua
Location
Jefferson Memorial Park, 329 Jefferson Ave, Canandaigua, NY 14424
Description
There’s a limited variety of obstacles, but there are some unique obstacles. There’s no proper manual pad, box, or flat rail. Also the stairs have little run-up and may be unusable. However, the manual pad has a slight grade, which is neat. The walls of the miniramp meet with banks to form hips. And there’s a 4’ quarter-to-quarter (like an elongated spine).
