5050 skate park is home to physical art forms. Kids from Staten Island seek refuge inside the walls.

Ran by Ed Polio, 5050 has become a staple in the community since its opening in 2011.

During the height of the pandemic, 5050 became a place where youth workers learned to assemble face masks for front line workers. It was a beautiful reminder of the perseverance that comes from growing up on a salty island.
