A Short Trip from New Rochelle

Where Lessons Happen
Leon teaches at parks and open spaces around Mamaroneck. Here are the spots he uses most.
Harbor Island Park
Wide paved areas along the waterfront with plenty of flat ground. Leon uses the open stretches away from the beach entrance for lessons. The smooth surface and open views make it a favorite for both kids and adults.
Memorial Park
A local park with paved paths and enough room to spread out. Leon uses this spot when Harbor Island is crowded or when students prefer something closer to the village center.
Columbus Park
Smaller park with flat pavement and a quieter feel. Good for focused sessions where students want to work on specific skills without distractions.
What to Expect
Every lesson starts with a quick conversation about where you’re at. New skaters learn stance, balance, and how to push. If you’ve been skating, Leon works on whatever you want to improve, whether that’s turning, stopping, or landing a trick.
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.
