Throw on a scarf and lace up your skates because ice skating season at Denny Farrell Riverbank State Park is in full swing.
This winter the rink has two sessions per day on weekends, plus one on Friday evenings, according to the park's flyer (see below).
There is also a special session for seniors (ages 62+) and groups with disabilites every Wednesday morning.
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 at Riverbank State Park are as follows:
Fridays 6pm-9pm
Saturdays & Sundays 1pm-4pm, 6pm-9pm
Holidays 11am-2pm, 3pm-6pm
Wednesdays (for seniors and groups with disabilites) 10:30am-11:30am
Admission is unchanged from last year: $5 for adults and $3 for children (under 12). Skate rentals are $6.
