I recommend everyone check out this spot. It's children friendly & lots to do for everyone.
It has basketball courts, ratchet ball courts, swings, space to just work out on grass. Oh & my favorite a Skating Rink for all ages.
It's in a safe neighborhood.
Pier 2 in Bklyn was built only 10yrs prior so it's still pretty new to the Promenade area. So, is the Boat Ferry to Manhattan only $4.00 one way if u don't want to take the train.
Oh, by the way u must sign a Waiver to skate & u must have ur wrist guards or take the chance of wearing their nasty stink, itchy wrist guard. My friend said theirs were itchy & smelly. I had my own everything even skates & knee pads. I'm a germ a phobe.
Staff, don't monitor entrance well enough they let ppl linger & pile up there. It's sometimes hard to exit.
I'm surprised, that's not a fire hazard to constantly, block entrance/exit.
A very good Skate Instructor is :

Was invited to my nieces bday party. The view is amazing. It was a breezy and kind of rainy day so it was a bit cold. Didn't realize even for bday parties it's not a separate room it's actually still outside. Party was from 4-6:30. Most guest were there before 4. By the time the girl got the orders for skates and brought them it was 30 minutes. My niece and friends ages ranged from 10-12. My youngest daughter 7 years old waited almost an hour to get the piece to help you skate. Sorry i don't know the name of it. Finally i personally went to see what was taking so long. It was given to me immediately. She said the was very busy and clearly overwhelmed. I told her had she said i can get it , it would've been faster. On top of that there was a $5 charge for that. According to my brother they didn't state that. The girl was young but too shy for this kind of work. The girls were chatting so she didn't want to disrupt them to ask their shoe size. She waited like 15 minutes. Like seriously. I told her speak up and just kindly ask the girls the size why would you wait for them to finish a conversation. We wasted time we could've been skating. The bathroom was pretty clean. We might come again but not for a bday party. Definitely not worth the money.

I came here for a skate date and had a relatively good time. On Saturdays, the cost of admission for adults is $11 and an additional $7 for skate rentals. You must wear wrist guards, and fortunately, these are free.
I would advise renting a locker for 25 cents if you have any loose items. Beware, some lockers were not so clean. So make sure you check before use.
The skates are not in the best condition and are men's sizes. The rink can be best described as a giant blue mat with bumps and dips. I have a bit of PTSD after falling flat on my a** skating over one of these bumps once. Since then, I make sure to proceed with caution. I prefer the wooden rinks as they offer a smoother ride.
There are some pros: the music and views of the Manhattan Skyline were the mains for me. It's not the worst skating rink and not the best either.Helpful 4Thanks 0Love this 5Oh no 1 - Dec 25, 2021
It's a concrete outdoor activities jungle with terrific views of Manhattan and plenty to enjoy.
Yes, there is a skating rink here with many hockey games going on. I've run a bunch of races around here and also noticed a lot of other sports related activities available such as shuffleboard, bocce ball, handball courts, kayaking, playgrounds for the kids, basketball, among others. Plenty of benches around if you just want to relax with the water views.
I've also attended the NYRR Brooklyn half marathon pre-party here. Bib and shirt pickup. Course explanations. Tips and strategy sessions. Energy drink and nutrition samples.
If you're a sports and athletics person it's worth spending some time here.Helpful 6Thanks 0Love this 6Oh no 0 - 4554456032Sep 3, 2022
Warning- SKATE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
I'm not too crazy about this place, although I can say I had a bit of fun.
First of all the floor covering they use to cover up what seems like an old ice hockey rink is all wrong. In some places it's unstable and if you're not careful you can really hurt yourself and that's what happened to my daughter. She had the safety walker and all and still managed to hurt her ankle. She will be ok, she's young and it wasn't that bad. That's not the point the point is they make the adults sign this waiver where you are responsible for your own safety and on this waiver even suggested that if you don't have insurance you shouldn't skate. They are not taking any responsibility for anything. I did read that if you see anything odd it's your responsibility to make them aware. I made them aware about the area on the rink that someone could get hurt and they seem to already know about it but still continue to let people skate. No warning in that area! They even put up cones but not where it should have been. It's not cool at all to continue to take people's money knowing you have this problem. How about you warn us about that and then let us sign a waiver. After what happened my youngest daughter just gave up! She was over it. My brother said he didn't like the floor at all, and after about 30 to 45 mins of being there everyone was ready to go.
Even though it was free to skate, it still can add up to be a bit pricey. It was $7 to rent skates, $11 for the walkers, .25 per locker and once you open it, that's it unless you have another quarter so don't forget anything once you put your items in. So overall I wouldn't mind coming back, but only on a free skating day, during the hours that it's free, because then they change the offer to something else, ex. Adult Night then you have to pay for everything and I don't feel like it's worth it. My daughter that got hurt said she would come back to, she's no quitter, as for my baby she's still over it!Helpful 40Thanks 1Love this 30Oh no 0 - 40710942May 14, 2023
It was fun. It's outdoors and covered. The downside is that the skate floor isn't smooth. Having not been on skates for over 20 years, a smoother surface would have helped. My little never skated and the mat made it difficult for him.

Came here on a Saturday afternoon in the summer!
$11 admission for adults
$7 skate rental
25 cents for a locker
Bring socks!!
Service: 4/5
Employees are kind! Somethings are not as straight forward. We waited in thee drink/food line for a bit before someone finally let us know that the booth for skates is further down. You sign a waiver, pay for skates/admission and then pick up your skates in the next booth. They have both roller-skates and rollerblades available, in men sizes. They provide wrist guards for free that you have to wear. You have to wait for someone to come and assist you with putting on the wrist guards. Lowkey the wrist guards are kind of sweaty and gross but it is what it is.
Vibe: 4/5
Views of the city are breathtaking here! It's a bit of a walk to get to the rink at Pier 2 but once you do it's obvious. There are basketball courts, tennis courts, and the rollerskating rink. Whoever was on AUX understood the assignment! They were playing a good mix of old school Beyonce, R&B, and new Afrobeats like Burna Boy. Some of the songs were repeated but I was not complaining, just dancing and skating.
It wasn't too crowded when I went. The rink is a weird rubber like format. Luckily, I didn't fall but I'm assuming if you did it wouldn't hurt as bad. My only gripe here is that the rink isn't smooth and has some large bumps which are not ideal.
Overall, I had a bomb time here! I'll probably bring my skates next time. This is a fun no frills place with nice views perfect for a girl's night out, birthday party, or date night!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Oct 27, 2019
Review for Roller skating
$9 admission, $8 skate rental
1 quarter for the lockers.
They recycle the wrist guards so if you come early, they won't be sweaty yet.
Shoes were really comfortable and run slightly larger.
We came on Friday at 7pm for 80s night and there was surprisingly no wait at all. Better yet, there wasn't anyone on the floor either so for a beginner like me it was perfect for practicing with less stress.
The earlier you come the longer you can skate for.Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - Nahmi C.Long Beach, CA12142Jun 23, 2022
My family and I had a fantastic time here in May. The view! Omg! Amazing backdrop of the NYC skyline and the Statue of Liberty! The rink was a little crowded but it dies down quick. It was a bit chilly the night we went. Staff was ok. The music playlist could've used some attention. We were there about 2-3 hours, and managed to hear a few songs played multiple times. We will definitely go back again in the fall! Really puts the roller rinks in the Los Angeles area to shame. That being said, the rink floor could use a touch up. Good times tho!
