Lasker is used as a swimming pool in the summer and a hockey rink during the winter. In the winter, Lasker rink is open from October through March. Lasker is home to Central Park Ice Hockey, public skating and skating schools. Central Park Ice Hockey, is offered on two rinks where hockey leagues play 4 x 4 ice hockey. Teams can be coed and are separated based on skill level. Currently, Alan Strachan is the Director of Central Park Ice Hockey, Lasker Rink.

Lasker Rink is also host to Ice Hockey In Harlem (IHIH) a non-for-profit whose objectives are to combine classroom diligence with hockey. Volunteers act as coaches and participants play in games.
