Roebling Rink at Brooklyn Bridge Park welcomes visitors to skate under an NYC landmark.

Now open for the winter season, Roebling Rink at Brooklyn Bridge Park in Dumbo welcomes ice skaters of all ages to take a spin under one of New York City’s most iconic landmarks.

It would be tough to find a more breathtaking backdrop for a family ice skating outing than the waterfront city views at Roebling Rink at Brooklyn Bridge Park. Nestled right below the Brooklyn Bridge itself, the seasonal pop-up destination welcomes skaters for one hour ice sessions from Monday to Sunday now through February 2nd.

Of course, I couldn’t pass up an invitation to take my daughters and husband for a spin at what I can now only imagine is Brooklyn’s most picturesque rink. So, we bundled up tight and laced up our skates, and I’m here to share the ins and outs of rentals, admission, and more at DUMBO’s must-visit Roebling Rink.
