The $160 million Davis Center is now the crown jewel of the Conservancy's decades-long effort to restore the park's northern landscapes. The rink is set within a green-roofed structure built directly into the slope above the Meer. In summer, this same space is a pool and in spring and fall, it becomes a public green. But right now, it's a full-size sheet of ice with panoramic views of the water and one of the prettiest winter backdrops in the city.
"We were very excited to announce a $51 million investment to reconstruct the historic Tony Dapolito outdoor pool in Manhattan, including the preservation of the beloved mural created by famed artist Keith Haring."
