Walkable ramps of various grades/angles in NJ?

Submitted by TurtsMacGurts t3_zw0mo2 in newjersey

I have a physics project I’m attempting to test. Ideally close to central NJ.

I’m looking for ramps of various grades that are pretty big and walkable (ie public park).

Ideally they are flat concrete. Similar to a submerged ramp in a loading bay behind a store.

But the closest thing I’ve found that is publicly accessible is a skate park. And there aren’t too many of those nearby.

Any one have other ideas? Thank you in advance!

Look for multi level parking garages at colleges, should be fairly empty on weekends or college breaks…

This is a good point. Also larger commuter train stations like metro park or office complexes.

Dingman Falls Trail in the Delaware Water Gap is entirely roadway and boardwalk and some of it is on a slight incline. It is on the PA side though.

What's "nearby" for you?

Around Monmouth county is ideal

Well if skate parks are of any use to you, there's one in Neptune and another in Manasquan. Probably others as well.

The Marshalls & HomeGoods stores in Seaview Square (Rt. 66), Ocean Twp have ramps. And directly behind those there's a sloped driveway (no walkway that I can see) that drops at least 10 feet across 200-300 ft horizontal.

Shark River Hills has lots of sloping roads, especially S. Riverside Dr. Folks walk their dogs there, FWIW.
