Yep! It’s True! The 7,500 Square foot skating rink at Governors Island is returning this Autumn and Winter Season for all to enjoy! In addition, there’ll be winter activities, decorations, warming fire pits, bike and sled rentals, cultural programming and much more!
And remember folks! The island is open every single day.
“We are so excited to invite New Yorkers and visitors to Governors Island for the return of Winter Village,” said New York City Mayor Eric Adams. “Cold weather doesn’t have to mean being stuck inside — it can mean ice skating and sledding with your friends or sitting around a fire with your family. And with the return of Winter Dog Days, I’m sure Governors Island will be a popular destination for every member of the family.”
“Governors Island continues to showcase its unique and uplifting contributions to New York City’s cultural landscape through the Winter Village,” said Deputy Mayor for Economic and Workforce Development Maria Torres-Springer. “From ice skating to Jenga to toasty drinks, there’s something for everyone in the family at the Winter Village and I encourage all New Yorkers to take advantage of Governors Island year-round.”
New Yorkled’s been to the island plenty of times in the past years and our favorite time has always been during Summer months when we were able to stay past sunset. We’ve yet to visit in the Winter months but this announcement is music to our ears! Can’t wait to head on over to see what all the fuss is about. Will you be joining along? Hope so! 😊
