Talk about winter with a view: the Roebling Rink at Brooklyn Bridge Park offers a stunning panoramic perspective underneath the Brooklyn Bridge and adjacent to the Manhattan skyline.
The 2023 newbie, originally called Glide Rink, rose to popularity amongst the best ice rinks in NYC, thanks largely to its location, and much to park-goers’ delight, it’s returning for a second time in 2024. It’ll reopen on Monday, November 25th, and it will once again be situated in Emily Warren Roebling Plaza.
“Ice Skating beside the Brooklyn Bridge has been part of the plan since before park construction began in 2008, and we’re thrilled to see this coming to life, providing long awaited winter recreation against a beautiful and historic backdrop,” Brooklyn Bridge Park President, Eric Landau, said in a press release last year.
We’re thrilled that the new holiday tradition will soon become a staple of the wintertime for all of New York. We’re also anxious to see what types of programs will be offered in the coming weeks, though these details are also under wraps. However, the park does promise that its cold-weather attraction will be accessible.
“Roebling Rink will offer an unparalleled and affordable ice skating experience,” the park wrote on Instagram. “Whether for a casual skate or a holiday outing, it’s going to be a must-visit winter destination in New York City.”
Skating tickets are $10, skate rentals are $7, and skating buddies are $5. Reserve your tickets online. If you’re a Brooklynite, you’ll be pleased to learn that the rink is free of charge on Sunday from 10-11 am and Monday from 5-6 pm with a valid Brooklyn id.
We don’t know about you, but we’re ready! And, if you happen to be along the Williamsburg waterfront this winter, there’s also an ice rink coming to Domino Park in November. It’s time to practice those moves!
