There are some very good Skateboard parks in Dominican Republic. Here in the Colonial Zone there is one between Jose Gabriel Garcia, Ave. George Washington and Hostos
Montesinos Skatepark
Located in the  Park Fuerte de San Jose directly behind the Monument Fray Antón de Montesino. Between the Malecon and Jose Gabriel Garcia. This park had some ramps and you can always find a skater here. They also skate in the main park area. I don't know much about skating but i did enjoy watching the skaters doing their little tricks on the steps in the park and on a metal rail they had.
 
There are also some very fine skaters that are from Dominican Republic.  Iván Maroño, Daniel Cuervo
Polo
Played at Sierra in Santo Domingo and at Casa de Campo in La Romana.
