I just moved to Chicago from the Bay area and am living up in Rogers park. Is there anything worthwhile in this area or should I start heading south more? I like curbs and ledges 
Where should I go??
Im in Uptown currently. I lived here 7 years ago in Rogers Park off of Howard red line then later off of Bryn Mawr red. If I find anything in the area i’ll let you know.
Skating down the Marine Dr trail is super fun and Wilson is just off of it.
From what I remember there might be an up ledge off the bike path by the lake near Tobey Prinz beach park. I haven't been there in years and they might have changed it but I remember it being pretty low and fun. That is if I've got the area right, I can't double check with google maps because there isn't street view there. Loyola might be worth checking out, I think they've been doing a lot of construction there and might have some ledges. I think I remember a very small, mellow hubba down a set of multiple 3 stairs around there, which was fun. I feel like you'll find something to skate there. Wish I could be more help, but I've only been up that way 2-3 times in the span of like 15 years, just figured if you're out skating around and check out those places you might find what you're looking for.
Pilsen DIY looks really cool I've been following their ig page for a few months and theyve been pouring like crazy. @pilsen_diy on ig. I think its privately owned but Julian who runs it is cool as fuck.
They can always use the help if you catch them while they're working on it, just shoot a DM. They're usually cool letting people skate it if you help build, donate or bring Hamm's haha.
