Suggestions for Skating near Central Park, New York

Fouad E. • February 9, 2015One of my favorite activities to do here is to leave branches out on the rollerblading path during the summer. Then, just sit back on one of the comfy wooden benches, relax, and enjoy the show.

Gayla Y. • December 1, 2014Lovely during the winter holiday season. The tree, the ice skating rink, the vibe...it truly is the most wonderful time of the year.

Roger S. • August 17, 2014This formal space is a wonderful spot for a stroll but also to watch rollerbladers and the best approach to the Lake.

Rod M. • April 28, 2012Something going on here every single season. Ice skating in the winter, table tennis in the spring, movies in the summer, and fashion in the fall. A NYC must.

Venera V. • February 4, 2016My favorite place for rollerblading and jogging

R L. • August 5, 2012So much to do here. Swimming, ice skating, plethora of playgrounds, North Woods, fishing, conquering Harlem Hill, etc. Definitely my favorite part of Central Park.

M. Silver Associates • January 11, 2012This spot in the park - beautiful and cozy in all seasons. In winter, it's close to the skating rink, summer/spring/fall - easy access to volleyball/baseball courts. We like to just lay and read here!

Michelle B. • September 23, 2016Ice skating is fun and the tree lit up at Christmas is beautiful.

Matt H. • November 30, 2011Always a great trip...but the line for the ice skating can take hours so you might want to get in there early in the day if you actually want to get on the ice

Meredith T. • October 28, 2011Open year round. Friends ice skate, you drink wine.

Nick A. • January 23, 2017Incredible neighborhood spot. French bistro classics done right. Get the French onion soup, escargot, duck confit, steak frite, crusted skate wing. Wine is priced well.

Diana F. • August 5, 2013Restaurant week! Try the Skate, the sausage, the corn soup and leave room for dessert. Heaven on a plate.
