There are more spots the further south you go in westchester generally. Grew up in Sleepy Hollow but would always go to Ossining to skate around. White plains was always fun as someone else mentioned, but the cops there can be dickheads ( as well as the people that live and work there). Yonkers has spots as well as some great hills. They say it’s the second hilliest city after SF in the US.

That's Lincoln elementary school and it has a rail on something like a 7or8 stair that has been hit up over the years. It has an okay ledge in the back of the school also. It's a crusty spot from what I remember, haven't gone there in about 2 years.
Edit: Also if you're looking for curbs, you may like the chase bank in New Rochelle (on North Ave). It's a bust during office hours though, you shouldn't be bothered anytime after 8 pm on weekdays or 5 pm on weekends.

At the risk of bumping a old thread, anyone want to share any new Westchester spots? Looking for southern Westchester spots in particular. One Ill add to the list that is technically not Westchester but close enough-- if you like bombing hills, the streets between Riverdale near Manhattan college down towards Van Cortland park-- metal curbs around there in various spots as well (awesome skatepark there not referenced in the thread as well that is very close to southern Westchester). There are a bunch of these roads/hills that connect between Riverdale and Kinsbridge in the bronx.
I'm looking for curbs/small ledges/banks or bumps in particular. Too old for white plains give potential bust factor.
To one of the upper Westchester spots listed in here-- I love skating kensico damn but be careful there as I was asked to leave surprisingly recently by the park police (in particular they seem to be watching for skating going near the stairs/fountain versus cruising around) and was tailed out of town by an unmarked car. I've never had any issues there just cruising/doing flat ground.

cruise around pelham, mt vernon, new rochelle, and venture into the bronx you will find a bunch of shit

Lincoln Elementary rail is still there and 5 stairs. The ledge in the back is still there as well. Still crusty as fuck too. There's a knee high ledge across the street from Hartley Park on Gramatan Ave in Mount Vernon with smooth ground and grass(dirt) patches. I'm still waiting for someone to tame this bad boy on Lincoln Ave:
