Skill Level: Depends what you’re grinding

I honestly think that this park was designed for soaping.

9 rails total: 4 medium, 1 monster, 2 curved, 1 full circle, 1 snake handrail.

Topped off with a Soap “O” concrete structure in the center.

Flushing Meadows Park (Main Street side), Queens

Low 25 foot-long bike rack. Perfect for those who are finally ready to learn handrails. Minimal injury if you don’t over-do it. Also picnic tables and benches if you need to get pumped.

-Queens College (Submitted by AnthoFlex)

Main Street Flushing, Queens

Skill Level: Intermediate, Expert, Pro

For those faint of heart, go the the next spot on the list. This college campus is a killer. Only those who really know how to grind can take on this campus. Waaay too many handrails to count, Few kinked, some as much as a block long, verts, ummm geez, the whole 9-yards I would say…

If I ever get the time to snap photos, I’ll post em here.
