the best place to skate is an empty parking lot, if your starting off. make sure the parking lot is skate able, like no little pebbles here and there. once you get better; i'd say able to ollie a board, go to the local skatepark, and the world is at your hands from there on. Also, Spotsesh is a great new iPhone app that lets you find and share local skating spots. You can find it at https://spotsesh.com.
