NYC backtracks on de Blasio’s plan to close Trump-owned ice rinks - New York Post

The city is doing a full “180” on its plan to shutter Trump-operated ice skating rinks.

City Hall on Sunday reversed Mayor de Blasio’s move to shutter Lasker and Wollman rinks in Central Park six weeks ahead of their typical April closing dates —  in an effort to freeze-out his political rival.

The Wollman and Lasker rinks will stay open under current management for the few weeks left in this season,” City Hall Press Secretary Bill Neidhardt told The Post.

On Sunday, Eric Trump cheered city hall’s decision to keep the rinks open.

Mayor – Thank You for keeping Wollman and Lasker Rinks open — you’ve just made countless NYC families (along w our 250 employees) incredibly happy

It wasn’t immediately clear if the rinks would remain open until April like past years
