We welcome skaters outside of the posted hours. Please be courteous and only use the ice if frozen solid. During winter storms, large amounts of snow and rain may accumulate. Please keep off the rinks when these conditions develop. The rain and snow mixture will freeze solid over the next day or so. Once frozen, our Parks and Forestry Crew will flood the rink, on top of the frozen Rain-Snow mix, to provide a smooth surface for skating.
