Tips & Advice

  • Take public transit rather than driving, since parking is limited; the F to York Street and the A/C to High Street are both options.
  • On stormy or icy days, look for rink updates before heading out, since public skate times can change without notice because of weather or mechanical issues.
  • Dress warmly in layers for skating in the crisp winter air beneath the Brooklyn Bridge with the Manhattan skyline across the water.
  • Leave time before or after your skate for Jane's Carousel or a bite at one of the park's restaurants and cafés.
