💬 What Visitors Say

🕐Visit before 3:30 PM on weekdays to avoid crowds and aggressive skaters. After 3:30 PM, the rink gets very busy with families, making it harder to skate casually, especially if you're slower or less experienced.
💬Bring your own skates if possible to save money and avoid rental lines. Skate rental is $8.50, but if you own skates, entry is completely free and you can visit as often as you want.
💬The loop is only 810 feet long and 20 feet wide, so expect a compact, relatively short skating session (about an hour max). It's not a large rink, so manage expectations—it's better suited for casual skating than extended practice or training.
💡Take advantage of the warming house with fireplace, benches, and storage. Plan to spend time here between skating sessions, especially with young children, to warm up and rest without additional costs.
💡Check the parks and recreation Facebook page before visiting, especially on cold days. The rink closes when temperature drops to -10°F or wind chill reaches -20°F, so confirm it's open to avoid a wasted trip.
