Prospect Park's Wollman Rink Open: Free Admission Next Friday

It's finally time to skate in Brooklyn. After some delays the Wollman Rink in Prospect Park is open for the season, which makes us happy because it was kind of sad seeing it still closed right after Thanksgiving. An email from Eugene Patron, the Oracle of Prospect Park says:

To celebrate the beginning of ice skating season, come skate for free all day on Friday, December 14 at Wollman Rink in Prospect Park! Admission to the rink will be free, with ice skate rentals available for $6. This season the Park has 150 new pairs of ice skates available for rental.

The Wollman Rink is open daily through March 16, 2008. Here are the hours:

Monday 8:30 a.m. – 2 p.m.
Tuesday 8:30 a.m. – 5 p.m.
Wednesday 8:30 a.m. – 3 p.m.
Thursday 8:30 a.m. – 6 p.m.
