DUMBO \u2014 Enthusiastic skaters of all ages and abilities were on the ice at Roebling Rink in Brooklyn Bridge Park on Sunday, enjoying the crisp air, stunning view and care-free camaraderie.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While many swooshed around the 8,600 square-foot rink with the greatest of ease, others gamely shuffled along while hugging the perimeter fence or one of the blue \u201cBobby the Seal\u201d skating aids. Occasionally someone would wipe out \u2014 usually an adult.<\/p>\n

Zoey, age 9, and her mom Adilia said they came in from Freeport to make a day of it in DUMBO, visit the sights and dine. \u201cWe\u2019ve done a couple of stops,\u201d Adilia said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Zoey said this was her first time on ice skates, and she liked it. \u201cIt\u2019s fun!\u201d she confirmed, all smiles.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe last time I skated was when I was 15 or 16 years old in high school,\u201d Adilia added. She had no trouble getting right back into it, however.<\/p>\n

This is the second year Roebling Rink has \u201cpopped up\u201d in Emily Warren Roebling Plaza under the Brooklyn Bridge. (In 2023, Brooklyn Bridge Park inaugurated ice skating with the Glide rink<\/a> and indoor cafe, operated by BSE Global and\u00a0the sports management firm IMG.) Roebling Rink has no cafe but offers hot chocolate.<\/p>\n

Ice skating in Brooklyn Bridge Park has proven to be super popular. Last year, Roebling Rink sold more than 150,000 tickets<\/a> over its 14-week season, according to The Experiential Group partner IRL Works.\u00a0<\/p>\n
