Wollman Rink - Free Audio Guide

Wollman Rink, situated in Central Park in Manhattan, is an iconic seasonal ice‑skating facility established in the mid‑20th century through philanthropic support from the Wollman family. Opened to the public in 1949, the rink has seen periodic refurbishments and has long formed part of New York’s winter culture. It functions as a multiuse public venue offering timed skating sessions, lessons and organised skating activities, and it often appears in film and photographic depictions of the city. The site is noted for combining recreational ice‑sport opportunities with views of the Manhattan skyline beside parkland. Visiting is seasonal, with daytime and evening sessions; admission and skate‑rental arrangements are tiered and vary by season and session. General accessibility provisions exist and inclusive programmes have been developed, while the rink is integrated with nearby Central Park attractions and walkways.
