🎶 Epic party jams all night long—from the 70s, 80s, 90s, Y2K dance floor bangers.

🧃 TL;DR:
The world’s messy. We deserve better.
We’re answering back with joy, glitter, and resistance on wheels.

Because joy isn’t just survival—it’s rebellion.

Our original Brooklyn-born themed dress-up roller disco in Prospect Park has been replaced. By someone hired to copy our concept — while Dreamland Roller Disco was unfairly pushed out.

Why?

Because we spoke the truth about negligence, safety hazards, and legal violations at this taxpayer-funded rink…

And refused to accept a 50% pay cut from what we’d been paid for years.

Dreamland created our original themed roller skate programming in 2007—long before most skaters here were even on wheels. We created the concept, the love, the magic. And now, after standing up against negligence, safety hazards, and corruption, we’ve been replaced by a copy of our own creation—funded by the very system we called out.

This isn’t just about roller disco.

It’s about what happens when institutions silence local voices and reward those who step over them for profit.

Stand with us.

We built this culture together. We’re not letting it be stolen.

Dreamland isn’t just a roller disco party—it’s a whole world we’ve built together. A space where you can let go, be yourself, and feel seen.

To someone who’s never actually experienced it—who’s never skated out dance floor, laughed with strangers, or cried happy tears under the disco lights—it might just look like a fun night out. But to our community? It’s so much more than that.

Dreamland is joy. It’s resilience. It’s family. It’s where people from all walks of life—every age, every race, every gender, every body—come together and create magic. It’s diverse, it’s inclusive, and it’s unlike anything else in NYC.

We’ve watched people heal here. We’ve watched them grow, connect, come out of their shells, and find belonging. You don’t just attend Dreamland—you become part of it.

Ekstein Development has never been. The Prospect Park Alliance walked through once—but never skated. They don’t know what this really means to the community. And now they’re trying to replace us like it’s just another event. But you can’t just swap out this kind of energy. You can’t replicate soul.

Dreamland was built with love, soul, glitter, and community. You can’t just recreate that with a cheaper, more complacent option.

We’re not just fighting for a party.
We’re fighting for our culture. Our safe space. Our joy.
Dreamland is home—and we’re not letting it go without a fight.

Prospect Park called me “untenable” for telling the truth. This week, I met with office—with emails, with proof, with a full heart.

What happened to Dreamland wasn’t a standard negotiation. It was retaliation.
Because I refused to be silent.
Because I chose transparency to our community over silent compliance.

This rink lives on public land.
Funded by public dollars.
It was never meant to serve corporate interests. It was built for us—the community, the taxpayers, the joy-makers.

In that meeting, I cried—not out of rage, but from 11 years of love, poured into a space we were shut out of.

I asked for mediation.
They agreed to try.
It’s a start—but we need more than promises.
We need accountability.

To anyone who’s ever been labeled “untenable” for standing in their truth—this is for you.
You are not the problem.
You are the spark.
Stand with Dreamland and demand justice.

They say I’m “spreading misinformation.”
So here it is—the truth. Backed by documentation. Told with love, transparency and devotion to you, our community.

🛼 For 11 years, Dreamland brought joy, unity, and magic to Prospect Park. Now we’re being replaced—offered half the pay, shut out of decisions, and threatened to stay silent.

Why is a beloved community program being erased by a private developer? Why is Prospect Park supporting that? Why is City Hall silent?

This isn’t just about Dreamland.
It’s about the soul of our city, and who public spaces are really for.

🤝 Tag Prospect Park and Council Member Shahana Hanif and tell them: the taxpayers who own and fund this public rink are watching.

A beloved Prospect Park community tradition is in danger of being displaced — not for lack of success, impact or love, but because a private developer is being given the power to decide the future of our programming on public, taxpayer-funded land.

Despite 11 years of successful, inclusive events that have brought joy to thousands, we’ve been shut out of key decisions. Our 88 page programming proposal was rejected by Prospect Park without a meeting. They confirmed our season in writing but then a drastically reduced offer was made — and when we raised concerns, we were threatened — and accused of spreading misinformation. We have hard proof that confirms otherwise.

This City Agency has actively supported the developer, leaving many of us wondering:

Why is this happening on City owned and funded land?

We support inclusive programming. We welcome growth. But displacing Dreamland isn’t the way forward — especially without transparency or respect for what this series means to Brooklyn.

Let’s bring back Dreamland — in full, with joy, justice, and the community at the center.

🛼✨ Sign the petition https://chng.it/cktjWDVPxn to save Dreamland Roller Disco - a beloved Brooklyn tradition that’s brought joy, unity, and magic to Prospect Park for over a decade.

Every Friday night, April- Oct, for the past 11 years, Dreamland has transformed the LeFrak Center into something bigger than a roller rink — a place of self-expression, love, freedom, and pure joy. A place where strangers become community, where music and movement bring healing, where everyone — no matter their age, background, or identity — is welcome to shine.

Dreamland isn’t just an event. It’s a ritual. A refuge. A heartbeat of Brooklyn’s creative soul.

But now, after 11 years of pouring our hearts into this space, our event series is in danger.

We’re asking Prospect Park for the chance to continue what we’ve built together, without cuts, without silence, and without erasure.

🌟 If Dreamland has ever made you feel free, alive, or at home — please sign and share the petition. This space belongs to the people. Let’s make sure it stays that way.
