Gathering Space

Step inside and stay awhile. The gathering space at the Davis Center is a welcoming place to pause, warm up, and settle into Central Park’s north end.

Open to the public during the winter skating season, it’s an easy place to meet friends, grab a bite, or take in views of the Gottesman Rink. With large windows, restrooms, and a rink-side café, our doors are open—whether for a quick stop or a longer stay.
