Spot Check: Restaurant Depot Curbs & Fingerboard DIY Spot

This Wednesday after a somber skate therapy session at Maspeth Skatepark with fellow skate dads, Lio suggested rolling down the street to the nearby Restaurant Depot spot. The main attraction is a very long double sided curb that presents line opportunities as well as a ride on option. The vibe was almost beach-like on an unusually warm sunny November day, except that the body of water was Newtown Creek passing underneath K bridge in an industrial zone.

The added attraction at this spot is the very impressive fingerboard DIY that wraps around two sides of a large concrete block. The craftwork is admirable with details like miniature pool coping, rails and use of different materials and textures.

This pin leads you to the entrance to the waterfront. I parked my car in the adjacent depot lot. Then follow the waterfront towards the K bridge and you’ll find the curbs first and the fingerboard DIY beyond that.

I wouldn’t say this spot is exactly kid friendly (maybe some beer bottles littered about from the night before) but if you’re the adventurous type this should be fine for a mid-day visit.
