Brooklyn Lakeside Curling Club
This Brooklyn-based curling club is one of NYC’s best, and offers curling leagues, lessons and clinics on the ice at the Lefrak Center at Lakeside in Prospect Park, Brooklyn! While they patiently await for the permanent building of the Brooklyn Curling Center, they for now host sport gatherings in the park…urging both rookies an seasoned vets to come curl!
We highly recommend their curling classes for beginners which teach you all the basics, as well as their leagues on Wednesday and Sunday nights from November – March. This offers a more structured approach if you’re looking to get seriously into the sport!
