Can We Skate and Sled Today?
General Rules of Thumb
Photo 12-31-12 was shared by Angie H.
1. Park closed signs are covered up only when we are there to supervise. People at all times are sledding/skating at own risk.
2. The warming house is only opened on a limited basis.
See our winter schedule below for this season.
3. Skate rental for $2/pair is only available when the warming house is scheduled open AND requires a valid ID or Driver’s license.
4. Hockey nets are provided only when warming house open.
5. We put water down when it looks bad. Examples:
a. slight snow-it freezes into ice and gets it crusty
b. People skate on warmer day and make cuts in ice and then it freezes and causes bumpy slits.
6. Please stay off if slushy or it tears ice up.
7. Please stay off if ice too thin even if there is ice under water.
8. Colder weather water freezes solid in couple hours, warmer days can take up to 8 hours.
9. It is important to get snow off before over 30 degree day melts snow into ice. If you have brooms, shovels or walk-behind snow blower please help clear off the rest of ice area. Please NO snowplow trucks though.
VOLUNTEERS are needed during all seasons:
We need 10 volunteers to open the warming house.
It takes 5 volunteers to keep ice in good shape.
