Pics of the original Ben Soto Skatepark in Staten Island, NYC?
« on: January 16, 2022, 09:15:13 AM »
I'm looking for pictures of the original Ben Soto Skatepark on Staten Island. Locals have started a petition to remodel it after the old design:

Did anyone here know Ben Soto? Is his family still in the area? From this article, I learned he was a local BMX guy who was also a vet, KIA. RIP Ben.

Thanks for those vids. Looks like they changed it from a BMX park to a street/flatground park.
