I'm from Boston and I very much dislike the fact that these people and photos are associated with the Boston skate scene.

[close]

why?
[close]

a) because i'm not going alone.
b) i've got lots of sight seeing to do.
c) i've got an expo to attend, sadly this isn't purely a pleasure trip.
d) girlfriend
e) i don't have any weed
f) i don't want to embarrass myself
etc etc etc

explanation valid. and aq does suck, but kudos to anyone who can ride away from the manual pad.

WansConvenience · « **Reply #41 on:** September 10, 2009, 12:52:38 PM »

Bump.

I'm going to Boston for the weekend. Leaving in two hours.

Anyone have any good tips for spots/watering holes/treats?

I know my way around pretty well, but haven't skated downtown in a few years.

Is the aquarium where kids in raver pants go to skate flatground?

Copley?

I remember Underground Snowboards, but that shit's been dead for years, huh?

If it's too cold I'll just drink a coupla Ha'poons, guy.

Any of the cats that work there will help you out.

But if you meet a geezer named Jad, hide your llamas. He'll touch them.

sirfinbar · « **Reply #48 on:** November 19, 2010, 03:52:35 PM »

you could go to nashua street park, which is by the river right off the science park t stop, lots of ledges

NoComply180 · « **Reply #49 on:** June 30, 2011, 09:09:55 PM »

hope nobody minds the bump, I figured it beats starting a new topic..

anybody got any mellow spots in the davis square/somerville/tufts/medford area? im just getting back into skating fully after a few years of laziness and Id love some ledges, banks, or nice flat ground to get used to skating again. is there also seriously not a skatepark in boston?

manbergur · « **Reply #50 on:** July 01, 2011, 09:03:04 AM »

manbergur · « **Reply #51 on:** August 18, 2011, 10:30:01 PM »

gkn00dlez · « **Reply #52 on:** August 23, 2011, 09:15:28 PM »

is Koston gonna be there? cant wait for the instagram posts. anyway - the girl team spending a day with an old college friend? something sounds a little faggy about that haha..

so yeh - boston has basically zero decent parks - go to hyde park if you are ever there - holy shit that place is depressing. i saw some good street stuff but was too busy getting drunk. orchard has a nice mini ramp.. yup.

that being said - boston is a really cool town - plan on going back soon

Girlfriend not girl. My bad. Yeah I here that Boston is almost parkless. How is the downtown area though?

manbergur · « **Reply #55 on:** August 24, 2011, 06:46:52 AM »

hahaha - i knew that sounded strange. more my bad than your bad there lol.

there are some spots around town and downtown - though a lot of knobbed stuff as far as ledges go.. you just gotta look around youll find some stuff

Esmith5488 · « **Reply #56 on:** May 24, 2012, 07:31:27 AM »

I'm going to be in downtown boston tomorrow, plan on swinging by orchard and just looking for spots, the only one I'm aware of is the little marble plaza across from the aquarium t stop, whats the bust factor in boston, and are the cops trying to snatch boards and whatnot?

Paperclip20 · « **Reply #57 on:** September 06, 2023, 06:03:20 AM »

Alright friends, Resurrecting this thread.

Any suggestions for tourist spots to hit while in Boston? Planning on hitting eggs but looking for other ideas as well.

Appreciate y'all.

Not sure if you already went/I haven't lived in boston for a few years, but spots to check out:

Aquarium (long wharf pier close to the aquarium). Ground sucks but its an OG spot.
Ruggles Courts near Ruggles T stop
China Courts where Orchard has a bunch of ramps/boxes
Acorns (Riverside Press Park)
Jackson Mann School in Allston
Tootsie Roll ledge (State St and Village St in Cambridge)
Lynch Skatepark
Skating around the greenway by aquarium is fun
Lincoln Skatepark and Morse Kelley Playground in Somerville
There's a few other new parks around too - fancy lad park in Jamaica Plain, they redid the Hyde Park skatepark, and there's another new one in Allston I'm sure you can find by googling
Wonderland T stop in Revere is fun
Northeastern University has a bump to bar and a bunch of stairs at the library
Thomas Edison school has a fun manny pad/ledges
Copley is gone now, but you can skate around there and find ledges. There's also a yellow up barrier/ledge near the highway entrance on the backside of the library.
Windows (if unknobbed - pearl and franklin st)
