Ed Pollio and Angelica Popolano – 5050 Skatepark
Not your average “mom and pop” shop, 5050 SkatePark in Stapleton is more than just a cutting edge location for skateboarders and BMX bikers to enjoy their sport. It’s also a community hub, hosting events to raise funds for worthy causes and promoting other local businesses and artists. That’s due to the tireless efforts of husband and wife team Ed Pollio and Angelica Popolano, who custom-built the 8,000 square foot recreation center as the only indoor skatepark in New York City. They live and work in the neighborhood and are dedicated to helping it thrive. Recently, they donated a custom-made, 7-foot tall, 3-D replica of the new “Downtown Staten Island” logo to the Chamber, which is now displayed at the tourism kiosk at the St. George ferry terminal for all to enjoy.
Weekend Walks is coming to Downtown Staten Island! Join us on Saturday, October 13, for a delightful afternoon in Stapleton as we close some streets to traffic and turn them into public space full of fun, games and food.
