Blade between boroughs

Want to save some gas during your upcoming New York rental car vacation? Then strap on some inline skates and start rolling to your destinations! Inline skating is a great way to avoid traffic jams in NYC, providing you with quick, reliable transportation. Heck, you can even skate from borough to borough in New York, thanks to the Queensborough Bridge's outer roadway. This section of pavement is designated for non-auto use (except during rush hour on weekdays). Customers of All Car New York Rental Car will also find skateable pedestrian lanes on each side of the Triborough Bridge between Manhattan and the Bronx.

Places to skate in Northwest Queens

Customers of All Car New York Rental Car will find plenty of great places to blade in the Northwest area of Queens. Top picks include the Dutch Kills Playground, located next to a school at 27th Street and 37th Avenue (the DaSilva Roller Hockey Rink is located here as well); Chapetto Park, located at the northeast corner of 21st Street and Hoyt Avenue; and Torsney Playground, located at the intersection of 43rd Street and Skillman Avenue. Want an extra special treat? In the evening, be sure to skate down to Shore Boulevard along the west side of Astoria Park. You'll be treated to a fantastic view of the Manhattan skyline.

Keep rolling to Corona and Flushing

Flushing Meadows-Corona Park is a great place to practice your online skills. This park provides skaters with plenty of flat paths for leisurely skating, while a small loop keeps speed skaters happy for hours. Customers of All Car New York Rental Car will also find a number of bike and walking paths south of the Long Island Expressway in Flushing Meadows-Park. Unless there is a sign stating otherwise, inline skaters should have no problem sharing these paths with others. The only big potential problem for inline skaters in Flushing Meadow-Corona Park is the traffic. While most of the paths seem pretty quiet by Manhattan standards, they still tend to get busy on weekends with soccer players and family picnics.

Try some tricks in Central Queens

If you're looking to enjoy a little scenery on your upcoming inline adventure, All Car New York Rental Car highly recommends checking out Forest Park between Woodhaven Boulevard and Metropolitan Avenue. This is a pretty place to skate, thanks to fairly dense forest. You don't have to worry about exhaust fumes in this area either, as the woodsy smells provide skaters with a natural perfume. Of course, with trees come branches, so remember to be extra cautious when rolling down the paths. Another great place to skate in Central Queens is Mafera Park. Located at 65th Place and 68th Avenue, this park features a newly renovated roller hockey rink.

Long skates in Northeast Queens

Want to enjoy an extra long skate during your New York rental car visit to Northeast Queens? Well, now you can thanks to the Little Neck Bay Bike Path. Running along the bay from Ft. Totten to Northern Boulevard, this path spans a distance of about 2.5 miles. Along the way you'll find a variety of refreshment booths, as well as great views of the waterside. The exposed nature of this path can often make for a windy ride as well, so be sure to check the weather before heading out.

Inline skating is a great way to stay fit and have fun during your upcoming New York rental car vacation. Simply grab a pair and find a paved path for guaranteed fun.
