Philadelphia's parks and riverside paths — Love Park and the Schuylkill River Trail among them — have long made it a hub for skating and longboarding alike.
A relaxed lot with a slight slope toward the school building — usually wide open, and campus security tends to be easygoing about it.
A perfect dancing spot on freshly paved ground next to Paine's Park, closed to cars with light foot traffic and a slight slope that's also good for freeride and slides.
A classic Philly cruise along the river with great city views — shared with joggers and bikers, and Paine's skatepark branches off if you want to stop and practice tricks.
A pretty flat stretch of Love Park — traffic builds up through the day, but late Sunday afternoons tend to be wide open.
A standard street spot, mostly flat with a few sketchy patches, some obstacles and stairs, low traffic most days but touristy on weekends.
A newly discovered spot with a decent slope, great for practicing lines, and surprisingly quiet on a Sunday afternoon.
