PLANS FOR BRONX SKATING RINK NOW ON ICE
BY DANIEL BEEKMAN (NYDN)
The city is putting its plans for a Bronx skating rink on ice.
The Parks Department has announced it won’t fulfill Mayor Bloomberg’s promise to bring an ice rink to Van Cortlandt Park this winter because it and Con Edison can’t supply enough electricity to power the outdoor facility.

The Bronx could finally be getting the ice skating rink that Mayor Bloomberg promised the borough last January - but without formal community input. Local leaders are upset they won’t get to vet how the facility is run.
“The agency has decided to circumvent the public process,” said Bob Bender, Community Board 8 parks committee chairman. “It concerns me greatly.”
