The LeFrak Center at Lakeside is Prospect Park's largest and most ambitious project since the park was founded more than 150 years ago. A recipient of multiple design awards, including an Honor Award from the American Institute of Architects, the LeFrak Center has become a go-to activity hub and thriving music and arts venue. During the warmer months, visitors can take a boat out on the lake, play a game of pickleball, or go roller-skating. When temperatures dip, the space transforms into a sparkling ice rink for some frozen fun.
The Glide & Groove summer series turned LeFrak's 16,000-square-foot covered rink into a lively performance space. Throughout August, bands spanning a variety of genres performed live as guests of all ages skated around the rink. Skaters also took in the magnificent rooftop sunset views while they sipped on refreshing summer drinks and seasonal bites. It was the perfect way to close out the summer!
