North Brooklynites welcomed the opening of McCarren Park’s ice rink in mid-November, and now it will close, as planned, on January 5. The Open Space Alliance for North Brooklyn, which operates the rink, said it has hosted 16,000 skaters in the last two months.
OSA also employed more than a dozen people for the season, and the Hanson Bros. food stand gave four Brooklynites full-time jobs and internships to teens from the Greenpoint Youth Program. The local non-profit secured funding to purchase its own ice rink equipment for next season, allowing them to keep the rink open for longer next year.
The rink will be open this Saturday and Sunday from 11 am to 10 pm. Admission is $8 for adults, $5 for students and seniors and $4 for children.

If they are closing “as planned,” I suppose it’s not a profitable venture.
Perhaps they need to sell more hot chocolate.
LOL
THANKS DEBLAHSIO!!
