NYC Reverses Course, Lets Trump Org. Keep Central Park Ice Rinks Open for Season The Wollman and Lasker Rinks were set to close Sunday until City officials reversed course, allowing the Trump Organization-run rinks to stay open through the end of the skating season Published February 21, 2021 • Updated on February 23, 2021 at 1:20 am NBC Universal, Inc. Two popular ice rinks in New York City's Central Park will stay open through the end of the winter season after city officials decided to let the Trump Organization finish out its contract. Sunday was supposed to be the last day of operations for both rinks -- Wollman and Lasker -- after Mayor Bill de Blasio announced New York City would end current contracts with the Trump Organization. The company previously had a contract to run both ice rinks as well as the carousel in the park and a golf course in the Bronx.
