Unfortunately, there will be no ice skating in Prospect Park Brooklyn until the winter of 2012-2013.
Due to construction, the Prospect Park Wollman Rink has been closed, permanently. It will NOT be open for ice skating in winter 2011 – 2012.
Fare thee well, old Wollman Rink in Brooklyn.
But here's the good news! Construction has begun on the new and improved facility, renamed Lakeside. It promises to offer bigger and better ice skating facilities. And it will be a year-round "destination for recreation, relaxation, and events."
For news and update about Lakeside, see the official website.
Skaters who are desperate for a spin on the ice might check out the Wollman Rink in Manhattan, or a private facility near Kings Plaza in Brooklyn Aviator Sports, which has an indoor rink often used by ice hockey teams.
