Golconda Skate Park

[4] In 2016, the New York City Parks Department opened a remodeled Golconda Playground, including a redesigned skatepark.

[3] Starting in early 2019, the NYC Skateboard Coalition, working with the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation, hosts monthly clean-ups at Golconda to mitigate the debris that build up in the park.

[6] In November 2019, the Pablo Ramirez foundation joined the NYC Skateboard Coalition to co-host a clean-up and skate session in support of the foundation's Brooklyn Skate Garden project.

[6] Also in November 2019, the NYC Skateboard Coalition installed a lock box for brooms and other tools to be stored in an accessible place at Golconda for park locals to clean the skatepark themselves.

[3] The name “Golconda” is a portmanteau of GOLd, CONcord and anaconDA, because the park is shaped like a snake.
