Skate Parks
Skating Thrills in Syracuse and Central New York.
Syracuse and the surrounding central New York region offer a vibrant scene for skating enthusiasts, whether you’re into high-flying tricks at skateparks, groovy sessions on roller rinks, or graceful glides on ice. With a mix of outdoor parks, indoor facilities, and seasonal spots, there’s something for every skill level and season. As of late 2025, these venues continue to draw locals and visitors alike for recreation, exercise, and community events.
Skateparks: Where Tricks Take Flight
Central New York boasts several skateparks catering to skateboarders, BMX riders, scooter users, and inline skaters. One standout is the
Onondaga Lake Skate Park in Liverpool, a 16,900-square-foot concrete facility featuring ramps, rails, and bowls open to various wheeled
sports. It’s part of Onondaga County Parks and perfect for testing skills year-round. In Syracuse proper, Sunnycrest Park offers
another option with its outdoor setup, while the East Woods Skate Plaza in Eastwood provides a community-built space behind Huntington
Elementary, opened in 2014. For indoor action, Black Mamba Skate Park in DeWitt allows skateboarding alongside roller activities,
with ramps and half-pipes in a mall setting. Other spots include DIY areas like Ormond Spencer and urban ledges around Everson Museum
of Art.
Roller Skating Rinks: Retro Fun on Wheels
Roller skating enjoys a nostalgic revival in the area, with rinks offering disco lights, music, and family-friendly vibes.
Skate-N-Place in Clay, opened in 2023 in a former athletic club, features admission at $12 with $5 skate rentals and group lessons on
Saturdays. Black Mamba Skate Park doubles as a roller rink, welcoming blades and skates with varying hours and prices. A bit farther
out, Skate-A-While Longer in Rome, under new ownership, claims to be central New York’s only dedicated roller rink, emphasizing classic
fun. Outdoor options include the fairgrounds for casual skating, as suggested by locals. These spots often host parties and themed
nights.
Ice Skating Rinks: Winter Wonders Indoors and Out
Ice skating thrives in Syracuse, especially during colder months, with both outdoor and indoor rinks. The Clinton Square Ice Rink in
downtown Syracuse is a seasonal favorite operated by the city, alongside Meachem Rink and Sunnycrest Ice Rink. Syracuse University’s
Tennity Ice Skating Pavilion on South Campus provides a reliable indoor option with public sessions. Nearby, Onondaga Nation Arena
offers public skating for $5 admission plus rentals, plus stick-and-puck times. In broader central NY, facilities like the Midstate
Athletic Community Center in Cicero and Three Rivers Athletic Complex in Baldwinsville cater to hockey and figure skating.
For a scenic experience, Skaneateles Community Center features two NHL-sized rinks.
