Newark and mismanaging park space is as iconic of a duo as you can imagine

How is creating a winter ice skating spot mismanagement?

Enclosing it in a shitty chain looking fence so only people who pay to use it, effectively cutting off half the park to the public

I did this last year with my gf and daughter and it was actually a lot of fun (and I'm a terrible skater). The kids have a great time & some of the folks are talented skaters. There's also something cool about being able to walk to a rink and skate among the high rises of Newark.
People complaining about this need to take a happy pill -- and a reality check. I go to Mulberry Commons with some regularity and it's usually nearly empty. The idea that having the winter village is denying people use of the space is laughable.

100% agreed! The park is almost always empty. These events actually bring life to the park

Ah the time of year where we lose half the park to a rickety chain link fence
