UN Skate Plaza is a free, street-style spot by the Civic Center where you can session curbs/ledges and a few transition features while also having games and an outdoor gym around you. Go in daylight for a safer-feeling hang, and keep your stuff secure since some reviewers mention theft and the area’s cleanliness can be hit-or-miss.
