💬 What Visitors Say

💬Bring your own skates to save $6 on rental fees — entry is only $1.50/person for roller skating (April-October), making it an extremely budget-friendly option compared to other city rinks.
🕐Arrive early or mid-session rather than at peak times (end of evening sessions) to enjoy a less crowded floor and better staff availability, as reviews note staff can be stretched thin during multiple concurrent events.
💬Use the free lockers provided at the rink — bags are not allowed on the skating floor, so plan to secure your belongings before entering.
💡Parking is limited and confusing — use the lower-level parking lot by inquiring at the West 145th Street entrance guard booth for a permit and directions rather than attempting street parking.
💡If visiting with kids in organized programs, note there's limited parent lounge space — bring entertainment or plan to wait outside in the beautiful park area.
