Throw on a scarf and lace up your skates because the ice skating rink at Riverbank State Park opens this Saturday, November 2, weather permitting.
The newly-announced ice skating season features two sessions per day on the weekends, plus one on Friday evenings, according to the flyer posted in the lobby (see below).
As has been the case for the last three years, the NHL-size covered outdoor rink in West Harlem is the only place to ice skate in Upper Manhattan while construction continues on the new Harlem Meer Center (formerly Lasker Rink and Pool) in Central Park.
The regular hours are as follows:
Fridays 6pm-9pm
Saturdays & Sundays 1pm-4pm, 6pm-9pm
Holidays 11am-2pm, 3pm-6pm
Admission is unchanged from last year: $5 for adults and $3 for children (under 12). Skate rentals are $6.
For last-minute updates, follow the park on Instagram.
