NYC ice skating rinks reopening for cold season
 You’re already bundled up, now lace up. The ice rinks are opening.
Wollman Skating Rink in Central Park opened for the season today, while The Rink at Rockefeller Center, Abe Stark Rink at Coney Island and the Staten Island War Memorial Ice Skating Rink in Clove Lakes Park opened earlier this month.
Opening dates for the city’s other seasonal ice rinks:
Trump Lasker Rink on the north end of Central Park - Oct. 24
Prospect Park’s Wollman Rink - Nov. 26
The Pond at Bryant Park - Nov. 6.
Riverbank State Park - mid-November (Skate office: 212-694-3642)
Year-round indoor ice skating is available at Chelsea Piers in Manhattan, Aviator Sports in Brooklyn and the World Ice Arena at Flushing Meadows, Queens.
Two of last season’s new outdoor rinks will not be returning for 2009-10. Neither Seaport Ice at the South Street Seaport nor the faux-ice Polar Rink at the American Museum of Natural History will reopen, officials said.
Update: One more , thanks to the reminder from the Mommy Poppins blog: City Ice Pavilion in Long Island City.
