No ice is ever 100% safe. As such, declaring an ice rink or lagoon open for skating is a big deal and a process to get us there. Always check the status online or by calling the Parks office before you head out onto the ice. Each rink and lagoon is separately listed on this webpage and updated as soon as information from the field is available. To help prevent extended closures due to damaged ice, rinks/lagoons will close if meltwater is visible on the surface. See Declaring a Rink or Lagoon as Open for more information. 

Equipment Rentals and Concessions at Elver, Tenney & Vilas
Three locations offer a staffed warming shelter with skate rentals and concessions when the rink or lagoon at that park is listed as open - Wednesday - Sunday only. Hours are subject to change. All winter activities are dependent on the weather and conditions. Opening day is to be determined.  

LOANER SKATES 
Free-to-use skates are available at Olbrich, Warner and Westmorland Parks. Borrow a pair of ice skates to use while at the rink. Limited quantities and sizes are available from inside the warming shelter. Please wipe down and return before leaving the park. 

EVENTS & GROUP PARTIES
Attend a winter event open to the community or reserve a winter recreation party for your group. All winter activities depend on the weather and conditions and are subject to change.

RESTROOMS
Indoor and portable restrooms are provided at a number of parks. See the webpage for open locations. 

PETS & BIKES
Bikes and pets, including well-behaved dogs, are never allowed on any ice rink or lagoon.  See Dogs in Parks for locations where allowed. 

A big thank you to our many volunteers and the ADOPT ICE PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM!
