One of the city’s hidden gems is a skateboard park tucked beneath Interstate 95 on the edge of FDR park in far South Philly. It’s gritty, and renowned among boarders.The highway noise can be intense, but the skateboarders tune it out. The highway provides a roof, which means you can skate even in foul weather. The road circling FDR was recently repaved and you no longer need a 4-wheeler to get past the skate area.
