The de Blasio Administration announced it would cut ties with Trump after the Capitol riot, terminating leases on Feb. 26.
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Two ice skating rinks in Central Park are abruptly shutting down Sunday with weeks left in the season. It’s all because of a fight between the city and the Trump Organization. It was a picture perfect winter wonderland in Central Park on Saturday, if not for the heartbroken skaters. Wollman Rink and Lasker Rink on the park’s North End will close after Sunday’s sessions because the city is severing ties with the Trump Organization that runs the rinks. “Everyone was absolutely devastated, every kid, their parents, their coaches,” said Malik Garvin, director of Ice Hockey in Harlem. “Kids are paying the price for something they had nothing to do with.” Garvin broke the news to 200 players, among them 12-year-old Vaneshka Caraballo. “It’s going to be a nightmare since I’m literally stuck at home having nothing to do,” the 7th grader told CBS2’s Carolyn Gusoff. The de Blasio Administration announced it would cut ties with Trump after the Capitol riot, terminating leases on Feb.
