we actually did it and the city agreed to keep the banks open. i am still kind of in shock but thank you for sticking with this until the end. keep an eye on the spot because we need to make sure they keep their word.

There are few places that skateboarders have had for so long and many famous skaters have visited. It's rare for a skatepark to be open over 20 years and even rarer for a street or DIY spot to do the same. It is also a rare gem whose terrain encompasses all styles and eras of skateboarding. The Brooklyn Banks represents where we came from.
THE BANKS ARE LEGENDARY. STOP TRYING TO KILL THE CULTURE.
grew up watching videos of people skating here. nyc would lose a huge part of its soul if they lock us out for good.
so many memories here over the years. its the only spot that feels real in this city please keep it open.
This place is literally iconic. You cant just replace history with storage units. Save the banks.
Save the park!!!!

Skateboarding is beautiful. It's zen. Accept its grace and blessing and accept how a bird flies.
