Will Lola Staar’s Dreamland Roller Rink, which was open for a very fun night back in March, open its doors for the summer in the historic Childs Building? Yesterday, Diana Carlin, aka Lola, sent out an email noting that she is very close, but is looking for sponsors or members to help give the wonderful project a final push. All of the info is here, and we’re certainly hoping this wonderful venture will brighten the Coney Island summer. (Click here for the membership details; corporate sponsors are also welcome.) The Dreamland website explains the current status:

Lola has been working night and day to reopen the Dreamland Roller Rink. She has overcome many obstacles in the labyrinth of obtaining permits and insurance for the rink. These obstacles have added exorbitant costs to the reopening of Dreamland! Costs that we simply cannot cover with the budget in our business plan. After some generous donations we are very close to being able to reopen…. but we aren’t quite there yet! Hence, we need your help to reopen the fabulous Dreamland Roller Rink.

Here’s hoping that the final money pieces come together and the Childs Building is alive all summer.
