Skating Rinks on Long Island
Long Island has a surprisingly broad mix of places to skate, from year-round indoor ice arenas and municipal rinks to outdoor winter skating on the harbor and classic indoor roller rinks. This guide brings together dedicated skating facilities across Nassau County and Suffolk County, with an interactive map that can be filtered by rink type, setting, season and activities.
Ice Skating Rinks on Long Island
Ice skating is the largest part of the local rink scene. Long Island has indoor facilities that operate year-round as well as seasonal outdoor rinks that open for the winter. Public sessions are available at many of the major municipal and private facilities, while several rinks also support hockey, figure skating, learn-to-skate programs, private lessons and birthday parties.
Some of the most substantial year-round facilities include Cantiague Park Ice Rink in Hicksville, Northwell Health Ice Center at Eisenhower Park, Newbridge Arena in Bellmore, the Long Beach Municipal Ice Arena, Iceland in New Hyde Park, the Town of Oyster Bay Ice Skating Center in Bethpage, The Rinx in Hauppauge, Superior Ice Rink in Kings Park and Clark Gillies Arena at Dix Hills Park.
Outdoor and Seasonal Ice Skating
Winter also brings several outdoor skating options. The Town of Oyster Bay operates seasonal outdoor rinks at Marjorie R. Post Community Park in Massapequa and Syosset-Woodbury Community Park. In Suffolk County, The Rinx at Port Jefferson offers skating at Harborfront Park overlooking Port Jefferson Harbor, while The Rinx at Wyandanch provides another seasonal public-skating option. Farther east, Southampton Ice Rink and Buckskill Winter Club serve the Hamptons during the colder months.
Roller Skating on Long Island
Roller skating has fewer dedicated facilities than ice skating, but several true roller rinks remain active. United Skates of America in Seaford operates public sessions, themed skating events, rentals, an arcade and parties. Gr8Skates in Shirley provides another traditional indoor roller-skating experience, while the George D. Costello Sr. Memorial Skating Rink in Greenport offers year-round roller skating on the North Fork. Skate Safe America in Old Bethpage is included separately as a dedicated indoor roller-hockey and training facility rather than a conventional public roller rink.

Planning a Skating Trip
Public-skating schedules can change from week to week because rinks also host hockey games, figure-skating sessions, lessons and private rentals. Seasonal outdoor rinks can also close because of weather or ice conditions. Check the rink’s current schedule before traveling, particularly if you need skate rentals or are planning around a specific public session.
