NYC Parks yestereday announced it has selected Wollman Park Partners, LLC for the operation and maintenance of Central Park’s Wollman Rink. Wollman Park Partners, LLC (WPP) has committed to reinvesting all net proceeds back into the Rink, upgrading the facility’s aging infrastructure, and offering inclusive and accessible programming.
The group is a joint venture between Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment, Related Companies, and Equinox, with official community partners including Great Performances + Melba’s Restaurant, YMCA, Ice Hockey in Harlem, Figure Skating in Harlem, The Boys’ Club of New York, and Green City Force.
The deal comes after the Trump Organization was ousted from its long-held role of operator of the rink when Mayor Bill de Blasio cut the city’s business ties with the president’s company in light of his role in the January 2021 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
