If Pier 25’s miniature golf and volleyball don’t appeal, how about a flying trapeze? Or a park for stunt skating? Both are coming to the Tribeca waterfront just north of Piers 25 and 26.

This month, Trapeze School World Corp. is erecting a 33-foot-high rig with a safety net at Vestry Street between the Hudson River and West Street, and will offer classes in defying gravity.

"It’s a mix of excitement and fear," said Jonathon Conant, the dancer, stunt man and trapeze artist who will run the school. "People look at it with that attraction-repulsion response: ‘Wow, it sounds great but there’s no way I’m going to do that.’ Then they see people fly, and they see that it’s not really that difficult." "You can watch their expressions change from trepidation of being 23 feet in the air to the joy of swinging," he added. Classes, open to all ages and skill levels, will include flying trapeze (swinging from one hanging bar to another), and static and double trapeze (maneuvers on a single bar). There are also classes on silks, acrobatics performed on two long hanging pieces of fabric. Conant said he expects to charge $55 for a two-hour class during the week, and $65 on the weekend. But the school will offer 15

The Hudson River Park Trust, which is developing the waterfront park and bringing the trapeze school to Tribeca, is also creating a 4,000-square-foot skate park along the bike path near Pier 26. To preserve views of the river, the components of the skate park, including a half-pipe, will be less than six feet high.

"We’ve been looking for ways to use that big chunk of space next to Route 9A and we think these two programs will be great," said Alex Dudley, the Trust’s spokesman. Both programs are temporary, but might find longer-term homes on the waterfront.

"We’ll keep them there as long as they’re not in the way of park development and they prove to be good uses that are popular with the community," Dudley said.
