Central Park, NYC


An experienced coner does it backwards on one skate by the slalom course next to Tavern On The Green.

6.1 miles right in the middle of the action! Enjoy a rigorous workout with a view of the NYC skyscrapers and a number of other colorful New Yorkers skating with you. Closed to motor vehicles weekdays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and all day on the weekends.

From April to October, you can visit either 72nd Street Entrance for a free braking lesson and skate map courtesy of the Central Park Skate Patrol, the charter member of the IISA's National Skate Patrol.
