"Ice Skating...these are things I feel when I hear that word: Here I go!! Relaxation - when you're gliding everything clears your mind except your movements. Ice Skating is fun. It's cool to learn new moves like jump, glide, turn. ...Rebecca Tibois, age 11

We are skating at CitiPond in Bryant Park until our new rink in Prospect Park is finished.
We are not accepting new applications until the new rink in Prospect Park opens next year.

Some of our kids got to meet Johnny
Weir at the "Skate-to-Learn event at
the Ice House in Hackensack, NJ.
"Ice skating has become a part of our lives. When we are on the
ice and doing those moves, we feel so relaxed. We will take this
very far in life. We love ice skating. When we are not on the ice
we feel that something is missing from our lives. We are so
happy to have the chance to be free on the ice. Thank you for
that, Miss Violet!" ...Cleeford & Valerie Auguste, ages 14
