Franklin Square Street Curling

About this event

Franklin Square Street Curling returns this holiday season. Book a 30-minute session for up to 8 players at each of two rinks for $40 per session. This fun version of Curling is an adaptation of the Olympic team sport where players slide stones of granite towards a target on a sheet of ice. Street Curling is played on an elevated platform where two teams take turns sliding “stones” (Rocks) across the curling surface toward the target (The House).
