City looks at re-developing Coney Island’s Abe Stark Rink
There are no plans on the drawing board yet but the New York City Economic Development Corporation (EDC) is considering a major re-development of the famed Abe Stark Rink in Coney Island where ice skaters have dreamed of Olympic glory and hockey players have shot the puck for decades.
EDC officials confirmed that the 48-year-old ice rink is due for a makeover.
“We see tremendous potential in revitalizing the Abe Stark Rink to deliver more recreation options to the Coney Island community,” EDC spokesperson Ryan Birchmeier told this newspaper.
