Grant Park Skating Rink

Ice skating under the stars here in Hewlett on a clear night. The Grant Park Skating Rink turns winter into a rotating map of blades and laughter, open whenever local schedules allow.

The rink spins around the crossroads of Broadway and Sheridan Avenue in Hewlett, NY 11557, where a double-red light keeps traffic moving but leaves room for lessons. Skaters of all ages twist onto the ice, while beginners inch along the rail.

Call ahead for rental skates and sticks, or stash your blades in the warming shack before stepping outside. Hockey drills loop through evenings, and public sessions welcome everyone from toddlers to grandparents.

Find the place on the map or dial (516) 571-7821 before you head out. Once you’re laced up, start at the curb on Sheridan; it’s just a few strides to the entrance and a burst of frost.
