Where Lessons Happen
Leon teaches at parks and open spaces around Larchmont. Here are the usual meeting spots.
Flint Park
A large park with flat pathways and open paved areas. Leon uses the wider sections away from the playground for lessons. Good for beginners who need room to practice pushing and turning.
Constitution Park
Smaller park with smooth pavement near the village center. Works well for focused sessions on balance and board control in a low-traffic setting.
Manor Park Area
Residential area with quiet streets and smooth sidewalks. Leon sometimes meets families here for a more relaxed, neighborhood feel during lessons.
What to Expect
Leon starts by checking in on what you want to work on. For first-timers, that means getting comfortable standing on the board, finding your stance, and learning to push. Returning students pick up where they left off.
Lessons are about an hour. Leon brings boards and helmets. Wear flat-soled sneakers and clothes you can move in. Helmets are required for students under 18.
