"Ice skating in Bryant Park" New York City Sports & Outdoors Tip by Jenniflower

We came upon this gorgeous park whilst walking, and absolutely loved it!

It being the second week after Christmas, the stalls were still up, although empty. There was a huge Christmas tree up still, with shiny stars hanging from the trees, and little glittering wintery lights everywhere.

Magical.

In the centre of the park was a temporary ice skating rink with quite a few people ice skating, young and old, all sizes.

It reminded us of London in winter at this time, when temporary ice rinks are scattered throughout the city, and are very popular with the locals and visitors.

We stopped to watch them and have a hot drink. Then continued on our way.

I have more info about this park in my Bryant Park Things to Do tip. I have focussed on the sport aspect in this tip
