What makes this rink distinctive

Brooklyn’s premier skating destination, in the words of its operator, the nonprofit Prospect Park Alliance — a year-round Lakeside facility that switches from roller skating in summer to ice in winter, with the Duck Island Café and Bar overlooking the lake. The rinks sit near the Parkside and Ocean Avenue entrance to Prospect Park.
