OUR ADVICE:
Skate´s Night meets at the southern end of Union Square Park (14th Street), near to the stairs. Traffic in the Union Square area can be heavy, so if you arrive by car, try to park in the general area. If you will take the subway please take 4, 5, 6, L, N, Q, R, W to 14th Street Station Union Square.
It is totally free and open to the people who love skates and want to have fun fun, only basic equipment are required like: skates, helmet, wrist guards, protecting knees, elbow pads, flashing light fitted to the helmet, backpack and visible clothing. Know that you do it at your own risk, those who will not or can´t agree with our simple safety rules should refrain from participating in this event.
If the streets are wet, the activity is canceled because it is too dangerous to skate as a group in the rain and its replaced with a meeting with all the participants to share drinks and food and have a great night.
Let's all do our part to make sure Wednesday Night + Skate, is a fun and safe event during the whole season.
