Channel Your Inner Olympian With Curling Lessons At Prospect Park

PARK SLOPE, NY — If watching the Olympics has gotten you itching to pick up a broom and give curling a sweep, you won't have to go any farther than Brooklyn's backyard.

Prospect Park offers curling lessons, private games and even leagues out of the LeFrak Center at Lakesidealong with other Olympic events like figure skating, hockey and broomball, according to the park.

Instructors offer 90-minute lessons in the sport — where teams slide stones on ice to a target — for $65 that teach the basics of the game and simulate matches. The park provides the equipment and asks participants to only bring a clean pair of sneakers and warm clothes.

Groups of eight can also book private lessons at the center for $60 per person and people truly dedicated to the spot can join a league at the 171 East Drive rink.
