Due to unseasonably warm forecasted temperatures, our outdoor skating rinks are now closed for the season.Warm weather creates standing water and rotting ice, making conditions unsafe for skating. Once the ice turns to slush, it cannot recover.We want to thank everyone who came out this season, laced up their skates, and made the most of the winter while it lasted. We loved seeing the rinks full and the community enjoying the ice together.
Stay tuned for updates on future seasonal activities, and we look forward to welcoming you back next winter!
Please Note: Warming houses may close earlier than scheduled if temperatures reach -10 degrees or colder or wind chills reach -20 degrees or colder.
