Blas Postured — and Skaters Pay

It turns out that ending the Trump Organization’s 35-year operatorship of Central Park’s iconic Wollman Rink isn’t free — and it’s the New Yorkers who use it who’ll pay the price.

Wollman Park Partners, LLC (WPP) won the contract to renovate and operate the Wollman Rink over the next five years but now plans to significantly hike fees.

Per a document from the Manhattan Borough President’s Office, a family of four will pay $116 to enter, rent skates and secure a locker when the rink reopens in the fall, up from $100 under Trump.

WPP claims the cash will go to renovations and letting first responders and low-income groups skate free or at a discount. But for children and others who just want a nice place to skate, Manhattan Beep Gale Brewer says the new prices aren’t affordable.

Thank Mayor de Blasio, who severed all city ties with the Trump Organization (run by the former prez’s sons) after the Capitol riot.

WPP is a partnership that formed less than a month before nabbing the Wollman contract. Brewer fears it may not “have any operational experience of any sort.”

Count it as one more case where de Blasio chose to indulge his preferences at the public’s expense.
