The Kate Wollman Rink is the only outdoor rink in the city on which you can’t see cars. And it’s in such a beautiful part of the park.

The new city rink in Flushing Meadow is really nice for an indoor rink and it takes less time to get there from northern (Williamsburg, Bed-Stuy, Park Slope, Prospect Heights, Brooklyn Heights, Bushwick, etc.) than Aviator.

I skate at Prospect Park regularly. Its Kate Wollman Rink is the roomiest rink in town, and the most democratic public recreation place imaginable. Everyone can afford it and we all have a common enemy: the ice. Sadly, Parks and Recreation and the Prospect Park Alliance are going to replace it with smaller, more conventional (and, probably, more expensive) rinks, instead of restoring it.

Aviator rink is indoors. This is a big factor when it’s 20 outside.

Does Aviator really even count as being in Brooklyn? It takes less time to get to the rinks in Central Park or the new one in Queens than it does to get all the way out to Floyd Bennett Field.
