Reply to comment by StOlaf85 in Why is there no lights for Skate Parks in NYC! by chengslate

Think about it this way......literally the one of the best city in the world, can't maintain lights in the park..............Nor can they keep parks open after dark for a set amount of time.

Thou I could see the residential neighbors, and that being an issue. Like noise and or lighting.

I just commented about stuff but NO nyc parks are open past sunset and if they catch you in them as an adult older then 18 they will give you a ticket past a certain time 12+. They’ll give you warnings tho, freaking cops

Many parks are open well past sunset. Washington Square is open until midnight

Hey matt it’s matt, I’ve gotten a few tickets for this and known multiple people who have from real nypd cops and as well worked for parks and 20+ years in nyc. You ever seen cops give the homeless a ticket at 3 am for sleeping on a bench

Sorry I wasn’t clear. DOT maintains the security lights only for park walking paths. They don’t for anything else. NYC Parks would have to light the specific areas like skate parks but that would encourage people to use them after dark which is not something the city wants people to do. As the other commenter mentioned, a lot of bad activity would happen in the parks after dark if they were lit.
