Sunday Skate & Social at Chelsea Piers (All Ages)

THIS EVENT IS BEING RESCHEDULED FROM SUNDAY MAY 24TH TO SUNDAY JUNE 14TH. But it is a laid-back Sunday skate at Chelsea Piers when they first open. I will have balloons and/or a sign to help you identify the group (plus my cell phone will be on). After the session ends there will be an optional drinking/eating at The Cookshop (156 Tenth Ave @ 20th St), which is one of my favorite restaurants.

Part of the fun of ice skating is seeing the 9-year-old girls on the ice in their little cute outfits who can skate circles around me - literally. Haven't tried the new Queen's World Ice Arena yet, but Chelsea Piers is an old standby and this will actually be the first time we are hitting the ice here (Chelsea Piers) this year. Should be lots of fun! :)

DETAILS

ALL AGES and ALL ABILITY LEVELS are Welcome to Join Us!

$10 admission includes skate rental

Session runs 1pm-350pm

Bring a windbreaker or sweater. It can get chilly on the ice.

Bring a lock or use coin operated lockers by the rink
(I recommend bringing a lock, when I went I was told I had to use the 75cent coin lockers near the south rink, but when I went into the bathroom/lockerroom there were empty lockers so i just used one of those.)

GETTING THERE:
There is a #23 bus that runs directly to pier 61 where the Sky Rink is located. You can also drive there, if you plan to do this, call ahead because it looked like there were plenty of parking spots but I dont know if they are reserved.

WHERE:
Enter pier 61, walk ALL the way to the back where you see the sign that says "ATM" that is the entrance to the rink area. Go upstairs and you will be in a seating area, there is a skate shop here and the lockerrooms are here as well. There are 2 rinks at SKy Rink. The rink towards the left near the skate shop is NOT your rink, that is the hockey rink. Walk towards the doors on the far right to the public rink.

MEETING POINT:
Meet inside at tables by the skate store/concession stand
