Located on the southern end of Central Park between 62nd and 63rd Streets, Wollman Rink may very well be one of the most recognized ice skating rinks in the world. Opened in 1950 as a gift to the city from Kate Wollman, the Rink has been featured in countless movies including Serendipity, Home Alone 2 and Stepmom. Between November and March, New Yorkers, celebrities and visitors flock to glide around the ice and take in the stunning scenery of Manhattan's glittering skyline. Don't have a pair of skates handy? No worries. Skate rentals, lockers and lessons are available through the parks department.
