Lace up your skates, Brooklynites!
The Roebling Rink will make its grand return to Brooklyn Bridge Park this winter, bringing back one of the borough’s most affordable and scenic ice-skating spots.
Back for its second season, the rink opens Nov. 24 and runs through Feb. 1, giving skaters a chance to glide beneath the Brooklyn Bridge and take in sweeping views of lower Manhattan and the harbor.
A one-hour session costs $16 per person. Skate rentals are available for $8, and helmets or “skate buddies” can be rented for $5 each. All prices include taxes and fees.
Locals have even more reason to celebrate — Brooklyn residents can claim a limited number of free tickets during select sessions on a first-come, first-served basis by showing ID.
Public skating hours run from 2 p.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 12:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Fridays, and 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. on weekends. Skaters can book a time slot and arrive anytime within a two-hour window for their hour on the ice.
New this year, schools and extracurricular groups can reserve private field trip sessions on Friday mornings from 10 a.m. to noon. Lessons with professional instructors from Fireworks Skating Academy are also available for first-timers or those looking to sharpen their skills.
Located at Emily Warren Roebling Plaza, the rink sits just steps from the bustling Dumbo scene, with nearby restaurants including Grimaldi’s Pizza, Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory and L&B Spumoni Gardens.
The Roebling Rink is easily accessible by subway via the F, A/C or 2/3 lines, the NYC Ferry’s Dumbo stop, and the B25 bus.
