About Mel's Rink on Governors Island
Skating never stops at Mel's Rink. Here, synthetic polymer technology creates the feeling of real ice beneath skaters' blades, making year-round outdoor skating possible no matter the temperature. Nets are set up so that skaters can hone their hockey skills, and overhead lights allow for extended skating into the night. But it takes more than good ice to make a memorable skating experience. That's why the staff at Mel's Rink provides skate sharpening throughout the day, ensure skates are in top shape before hitting the rink. Get cooled off while skating under an ice cold inflatable mister!
