The mall's Ice Rink. Skating facilities such as this were common in America's early malls. They were a primary feature at Long Island's ROOSEVELT FIELD, LA's TOPANGA PLAZA, The Bay Area's SUNVALLEY CENTER and Houston's GALLERIA, to name a few. Today, only the rinks at LLOYD CENTER and THE GALLERIA remain in operation.

At the center of the center was a large, open Central Plaza. From here, one could watch skaters on the Ice Rink below. There was also a Rose Garden and fronts for stores such as Kodak At Sandy's, Columbian Optical, Pipeland and National Shirt Shops.

For elegant dining. Meier & Frank's posh Aladdin Restaurant overlooked the Central Plaza and skating rink. The bistro opened for business in March 1961 and closed down in 1990.
