Here’s an idea of where that $75 million is going: A Year in the Park has an in-depth report on the first public showing of plans for Prospect Park’s new Lakeside Center. Last night the Parks Dept. made a presentation about the recreation center, which is slated to replace the current Wollman Rink and include a hockey rink (that’s the main, enclosed structure shown above), an outdoor rink and water features during the summer. Tod Williams and Billie Tsien, who designed Manhattan’s American Folk Art Museum, are the architects. A Year in the Park notes that plans for Lakeside Center, which is supposed to be complete in 2011, are far from set in stone, and that public input on the proposal is still being welcomed.
