they didn't, that's why this is news. They're building it now.

And this will be a real rink unlike the oval at Wollman. You guys go to Wollman ? I go like 2-3 times a year. Parking is a b!tch and the LIRR is too expensive and slow.

not completely free; still have to pay for rentals. but this should be a good alternative esp. since its right in midtown whereas wollman is the park.

went today - it was awesome... hockey-size rink and of course free if you got your own skates. We skated for maybe 3 hours... awesome ice.

i threw today's paper out... it's olympic size, but a nonpermanent structure only for the winter season.
