ROC City Skatepark gives Rochester a durable, public place for skating, BMX, and scooters close to the Genesee River corridor. It is not a traditional sight, but it adds energy to a downtown area better known for markets, museums, and old industrial buildings.
Travellers who skate may want to bring gear or at least stop by to watch the local scene. For everyone else, it is a quick add-on while exploring the riverfront rather than a main reason to visit Rochester.
