Brooklyn Skating Community on Thin Ice as Vendor Selection at Prospect Park Nears
Briefly

The LeFrak Center at Lakeside is integral to Brooklyn's skating culture, drawing community members for over a decade. Recent Requests for Proposals (RFP) for new food and recreational operators have led to fears of change within the local skating scene. Lola Star, founder of Dreamland Roller Rink, expresses concern over her exclusion from the operator search process. Other community members echo a sentiment of disconnection from the Prospect Park Alliance, raising questions about the future of roller skating events.
I love LeFrak so much,” Star said. “New York has a rich rollerskating community and there’s no other option for us. We are all trying to advocate and we’re wondering what we’d do if we lose the LeFrak.
The Alliance has declined to work with her despite her offers,” Star expressed, illustrating the disconnect between the community and the organization overseeing LeFrak's management.
