Things to See & Do

Come for open skating. Rental figure skates run from toddler size 8 to adult size 15, and the rink sharpens skates too. Kids and adults can sign up for group lessons: a series meets once a week for half-hour lessons, and students get extra practice time after each one. The county strongly recommends a helmet for everyone, and helmets are required for lesson students.

For a party, ask about private rink rentals, which are offered when the rink is not open for lessons or public skating. Warm up with a snack at the Skate Zone Cafe.

Roosevelt Park itself has a paved lake loop and more to do, so pair a skate with a walk.

Tips and Tricks

Call the county's weather hotline before you go, because outdoor ice depends on the weather. The rink does not take reservations for public skating. Lesson registration is in person, and the county does not sell, rent or provide helmets.

Hours / Season of Operation

The rink is open in winter, from early December to late March. It is closed Mondays and Tuesdays, and on Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day, with weekend-style schedules on school holidays. Check the county's skating rink page for the current season and hours.

Facilities

An outdoor ice rink, skate rentals and sharpening, the Skate Zone Cafe, and parking beside the rink.

Parking

A parking lot beside the rink and the lake is off Parsonage Road, at the Oakwood Avenue crossroads, and serves the skating rink and this end of the park.
