Central Park's Wollman Rink is the perfect place to create such enchantment. The skating rink, open from late October to early April, is less than a five-minute walk from the south entrance of W. 59th Street and 6th Avenue.

Lasker Pool is open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. all summer. It accommodates 1,824 people. During the winter, it is converted to an ice skating rink. The pool is located near 106th Street in the center of the park. Originally, the building of this pool was controversial, as some Manhattan residents felt it would detract from the park's beauty, especially since it was not part of the park's original design.
