BY MELANIE REHAK kating in Central Park with my father, while endearingly tinny versions of “Downtown” S and “New York, New York” played over the 1970s loudspeakers, was one of the great pleasures of my urban childhood. In sun and in snow, in heavy coats we eventually shed once we really got moving, we spent hours going around and around the Wollman Rink, looking up at and out into the majesty of the landscape around us, anticipating the hot chocolate to come. So it was with joyful heart that I first went to the other Wollman Rink, in another huge New York City park created by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, back in 1997 when I moved to Brooklyn. What I discovered then on the east side of Prospect Park left me feeling fairly hopeless about ever recovering my childhood idyll. The 1960 Kate Wollman Rink, plunked along one side of Prospect Park Lake (which had been filled in certain places to accommodate the rink and its service buildings, destroying the original shore- line) was a disaster in every way.
