River Avenue Skate Park

River Avenue Skate Park is a 10,000-square-foot concrete skate park located in the Bronx, New York, near the 161st Yankee Stadium Station. Built in 2010, it sits on what was previously a parking lot for Yankee Stadium and is part of the River Avenue Parks project, which aimed to replace public spaces lost during stadium construction. The park features a mix of street and transition elements and is known for hosting the annual "Battle for the Bronx" skate contest​

Additionally, the park is named in honor of skateboard legend Andy Kessler and includes a street plaza with stairs, ledges, rails, banks, and a four-foot mini ramp. The bowl section, which is 11 feet deep, requires full protective gear and a signed waiver. Inline skates are permitted, but bikes are not allowed​
