East Monroe Gap aka Stairwell Gap is not a skatepark as the ones you know. It is not a skatepark at all. It is a gap that is coming off the top of a stairwell that goes into a parking garage.
The run up on the roof of the stairs in front of the entrance is short, but is enough to setup for tricks. Landing is kind of chipped up, but this shouldn’t cause any problems with riding away. Good thing on impromptu skateparks is that they never close!
You can enjoy your favorite sport as long as you want, trying to overcome the gap… Besides the gap, there are also stairs and some other features nearby, as pavements and some benches. If you like to skate free from skatepark obligations, this is the place for you.
