Young skaters who have longed for a place in the city to show their stuff need to look no further than the Dennis P. Collins Park, home to the city's first skating facility.

Between First Street and Kill Van Kull, next to Little League Stadium, the grounds provide a place for children of all ages to use their skateboards and roller skates.

The facility consists of 7,200 square feet of galvanized steel skating ramps and stands in a fenced in enclosure.

There's a flat asphalt surface and activity areas known as "fun boxes," including one that is a foot hihg, designed for the younger kids. Older skaters can test their skills on a 2-foot fun box.

Three ramps - 3 feet, 4 feet, and 5 feet - are also available at the skate park. The skating facility is open when the park is open.
