A skate spot is a location used for skateboarding.[1][2][3]

A range of locations qualify as a skate spots, as any area where one can ride their skateboard can be considered a skate spot.[1] From the flat ground basketball courts at Thompkins Square Park to the large concrete ledges of Hubba Hideout, skate spots exist in every shape in every city.[4] Not all skate spots last forever.[5] In some instances, the local skateboarding community rallies together to attempt to save a treasured skate spot, such as with the Brooklyn Banks.[5][6][7] Skate spots are sometimes turned into DIY skateparks when skateboarders bring in obstacles and cement to make their own terrain.[8][9]
