What visitors say
Very nostalgic to be back at Parade ice rink! Glad to see it's been kept up since I skated there as a kid. The SQSA skating lessons are great and the kids are having fun learning.
Nice place to play hockey. Decent locker rooms that you can lock so you and your teammates can leave your stuff safely in there while you're on the ice. The team benches are a bit tricky to jump over, as they are skinnier than normal…
A good venue for hockey. Concessions had a variety of snacks and entrees.
