A Look At Prospect Park’s New Ice Skating Rinks At Lakeside

The new LeFrak Center at Lakeside in Prospect Park opened to the public on December 20, and while we took a look at it before its public unveiling, we headed in to check it out after its grand opening to see how people are enjoying it. So far, so good! Have you been yet? If so, what do you think?

A look at the locker rooms.

Red winter berries pop behind the railings that look out on the lake and the islands.

The night sky ceiling covers the other rink, which was being used for hockey while we were there, with a clear fence shielding spectators from flying pucks.

The main entrance is at Parkside and Ocean Avenues, near the Q train exit and a B16 bus stop. There is another, closer, B16 stop at 231 Ocean Avenue that puts you right at the LeFrak Center walkway.

Hours for the rink and concessions will be Monday-Thursday 11am-6pm (for the holidays, until January 1, the rinks and concessions will remain open until 8pm); Friday and Saturday 9am-10pm; and Sunday 9am-8pm. Additional info about sports, events rentals, and more, can be found here.
