Bring Your Group to Lakeside for a Day of Fun!

Conveniently located in fabulous Prospect Park, Brooklyn near the B, Q and S trains and all major highways, our facility, with its warm and welcoming staff, can accommodate groups of any size.
Ice skating’s the thing during any of our daytime or evening Public Skating sessions. Non-skaters in your group? Arrange for a lesson for up to 15 people with a member of our coaching staff.
Is your group going to get hungry? You bet they will! Get in touch with Duck Island Cafe & Bar (parties@duckislandbk.com), a neighborhood-focused restaurant group which boasts a kid (and pocketbook) friendly menu, located just steps from the rink!
It’s very clear: we can offer the perfect experience for everyone in your group, all winter long!

It is not permitted to complete and submit a waiver for a friend, colleague, co-worker or anyone who is not an immediate family member. All adults must complete their own waiver.
In addition, if we don’t get waivers, the group discount no longer applies, the deposit will be forfeited, and you’ll pay the walk-in rate for admission and rental skates for all members of your group.
