The Trump Organization is lobbying the office of Mayor Eric Adams to win its bid to run Central Park’s Wollman Rink.

The city put out a solicitation for bids just days after Trump won reelection in November .

The opening for Trump to run the coveted rink also came just weeks after the nonprofit Central Park Conservancy had offered to give the city $120 million to replace the rink.

The Central Park Conservancy has steered millions of dollars in philanthropic funding to enhance the park.

The agreement on Wollman Rink is set to expire in June 2026 .

A key player in these talks was the conservancy, a well-heeled nonprofit.

The company then bid on the concession, sources say.
