Ice Rink
3.17.23 We're out of luck! The rink is in rough shape with all this snow and warm temps. This may be the end of the season.
It's really important to respect the signage and process involved. Please know that if the ice can be skated on safely, smoothly, and without damaging the rink, it will be open, we promise! As evidenced by this post, our staff checks on the rink conditions at least once a day, even on the weekends!
All skaters may use either rink but the smaller rink is the designated rink for families, young children, and new skaters. Please share the ice and respect the hard work of our staff.
We now have a port-o-let on site! (will be removed 3.20.23)
Thank you,

New! We have TWO rinks. The second is a smaller “learn to skate” rink.
This Winter our ice rink is located at Foster Road Park (60 Foster Road). There will be a sign (open/closed) at the top of the dirt road of Foster Road and another at the rink.
Free to the public! Bring your own skates!
