Brooklyn Banks

Brooklyn Banks (officially known as Gotham Park) is an area under the Manhattan side of the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City. The banks are a skate spot popular among skateboarders and BMXers for the unique brick banked surfaces that give the spot its name, and other skateable features such as benches, pillars, ledges, stairs, and handrails.

The banks have been referred to as "New York City's most famous skateboarding spot" and "the Mecca of New York skateboarding" by the New York Times.

The skateboarding community has rallied to save the banks from destruction on multiple occasions.
