Laker Pool is closed in 2021 for upcoming reconstruction.

Central Park Conservancy will be rebuilding the facility formerly known as Lasker Rink and Pool to better integrate into the landscape, offer new and enhanced outdoor activities, and increase access for communities around the north end of Central Park. Completion is expected for summer 2024.

The new facility will provide:

• Year-round programming and expanded recreational opportunities at the Harlem Meer, with increased access to nature
• Enhanced swimming and skating, including a full-scale ice rink, an additional new skating experience on the Meer, a larger-than-Olympic-size pool, and a new outdoor spray pad
• A facility that serves a broader cross-section of Park users, with year-round access to restrooms and amenities and more community programming
• A boardwalk through freshwater marsh plantings at the edge of the water body, which will serve as an ice ribbon for skating in the winter, evoking the feeling of skating on the Meer
• Unhindered access across the north end of the Park — both by reconnecting the watercourse that runs through the Ravine so it flows freely into the Harlem Meer, and re-establishing the pedestrian path that once ran alongside it
