Wollman Rink

Together with e.g. the Bryant Park Rink, Wollman Rink offers an alternative to the (usually heavily crowded) Rink at the Rockefeller Center. In summer, it transforms into a multi-purpose venue where various social gatherings and events are organised.

If you're worried that your skating skills won't suffice, don't worry. There is a skating school where you can improve your skills or if you're a complete beginner - learn the basics of skating (which is in fact quite simple). Don't hesitate to take pictures of you skating with Central Park in the background.

It may happen that you'll be able to watch a hockey match here or even a figure skating performance.
