One of Nassau County’s best-known indoor ice-skating rinks and the onetime practice center for the New York Islanders, Cantiague Park’s rink has been called “Best of Long Island” by News 12, a selection made on the basis of viewer nominations and surveys. The rink is open seven days a week (closed New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day) from September through May. In addition to public skating sessions, the rink has hockey programs, group and private lessons, and figure-skating clubs. Birthday parties may also be arranged during public sessions.
