Ice skating beneath the Brooklyn Bridge with the Manhattan skyline in view: Roebling Rink brings a winter outing to one of Brooklyn’s most memorable waterfront settings.
What to expect
Here, you skate right beneath the Brooklyn Bridge. Roebling Rink sits on Emily Warren Roebling Plaza in Brooklyn Bridge Park, with the bridge overhead, the waterfront beside you, and Manhattan across the river. There’s plenty to take in between laps on the ice.
The seasonal rink gives you a lovely reason to visit DUMBO in winter. Pair your skating session with a waterfront stroll and a stop at a nearby café or restaurant. Skate rentals, helmets, and skating aids were available during the previous season. Check the organizer’s latest information for the options offered when the rink returns.
Good to know
- Wear warm layers and bring gloves. The wind along the waterfront can make it feel much colder.
- I’d leave some time to enjoy the park before or after skating. Dusk is a particularly lovely time to look across at Manhattan.
- Check the organizer’s updates before heading out. Bad weather can lead to cancelled skating sessions.
