City Councilman Peter Vallone Jr. is asking the Parks Department to create an ice rink in the pool, similar to the work it did at the McCarren Park Pool in Brooklyn and the planned rink in Washington Heights.
“This area in the Astoria Park Pool would make an ideal ice rink for the residents of Queens to enjoy during the winter months,” Vallone (D-Astoria) wrote in a letter to Parks Commissioner Veronica White. “I ask that you study the possibility and consider issuing requests for proposal from parties that may be interested in a concession agreement.”
