在其任内的最后几天，前纽约市市长Michael Bloomberg为塞缪尔和埃塞尔勒弗拉克中心剪彩。此活动中心是Tod Williams Billie Tsien在布鲁克林的普罗斯佩克特公园内设计的溜冰设施。建筑师们站在不远处等待着受邀的一群孩子冲进溜冰场，但等大门一开，据Tsien回忆：“我们看到一个小孩慢慢的爬了进来，接着就不知所措地靠在墙边。然后孩子们就一个接一个地进来了。”
在这些犹犹豫豫的孩子们进来之后，男女老少的滑冰爱好者都很开心地进入了滑冰场，而外面是排着长长的队等着买票的人们。此活动中心的两个滑冰场以及附近景观的重建都是湖畔项目的一部分。这个项目耗资7400万美元，它旨在重建这个Frederick Law Olmsted 和 Calvert Vaux在19世纪设计的公园。
他们原计划将这里用于举行各种正式活动，就像曼哈顿中央公园所做的那样。之前，在公园湖畔附近有一个大厅，游客们能在此欣赏到小渠对面“音乐岛”上音乐家的演奏。1961年检修之后，小渠被土填满以便于建造一个棚状滑冰设施以及一个代替的停车场。

In his final days of office last year, former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg cut the ribbon on the Samuel J. and Ethel LeFrak Center, a Tod Williams Billie Tsien–designed skating facility in Brooklyn's Prospect Park. Standing nearby, the architects waited for a crowd of invited children to dash onto the ice, but when the rink's gate finally opened, “You saw one little kid creeping out slowly, holding like mad to the edge of the wall, and then the next one and the next one,” remembers Tsien. “It was like a line of little ants.”
Since those first hesitant kids, skaters of all ages have warmed to the ice, with visitors waiting in long lines to buy tickets. The center's two rinks, along with the restoration of the adjacent landscape, are part of Lakeside, an ambitious $74 million project to restore and reinvigorate 26 acres of the sprawling and beloved park, designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux in the 19th century.
They originally planned the site to stage a formal moment, as they famously did by the water's-edge at Bethesda Terrace in Manhattan's Central Park. A carriage concourse terminated near the shore of Prospect Park's lake, where visitors could listen to performances by musicians stationed across a small channel on Music Island. In a 1961 overhaul, the channel was filled in to make way for a shedlike ice-skating facility and—in typical Robert Moses–era fashion—a parking lot replaced the carriageway.
