Winter Activity Updates


Ice Skating in Madison Parks
19 ice rinks or lagoons are maintained by Parks staff and/or volunteers during the cold winter season. All are free to use and no reservation is needed. See Special Winter Fun Edition: Ice Skating for more information.
IMPORTANT- BEFORE YOU STEP OUT, CHECK THE ONLINE STATUS
- Do NOT skate, walk, or otherwise go on a rink or lagoon until it is declared open. Doing so is not safe and slows the opening process by damaging the ice.
- Do NOT attempt to remove snow from an ice rink or lagoon. Doing so is not safe and slows the opening process by damaging the ice.
- While ice is never 100% safe, staff monitors the ice depth to be at least 5" to safely support humans and grooming equipment.
Elver, Tenney and Vilas parks offer a warming shelter staffed Wednesday - Sunday when an amenity is listed as open.
- Wednesday- Friday: 4-8pm
- Saturday: 12-8pm
- Sunday: 12-6pm
SKATE HELPERS for children and adults to assist in ice skating. Thanks to the Madison Parks Foundation, we have free-to-use Skate Helpers available at Elver, Tenney and Vilas.
