Route 02 · transit

Brooklyn rink options

  1. Roebling Rink at Brooklyn Bridge Park
  2. LeFrak Center at Lakeside

The useful small print

Before you go.

  • Glide is an outdated name for this booking: the current park source calls it Roebling Rink.
  • The Rockefeller tree does not light until December 2, even though the rink opens earlier.
  • A park’s opening hours do not equal public skating hours. Session availability and holiday rates can change.
