Free Skating Dates

NOTE: All Public Skating Facilities require kids under a certain age to wear Approved Hockey Helmets.
It is recommended that children (and adults) dress warm wearing appropriate layers of clothing when skating. This may include winter jackets, snow pants, mittens or gloves, hats and scarves or neck warmers. Some people recommend knee pads in case kids fall down.

FREE SKATING ALL SEASON
There are a few places that offer free public skating all season that are outdoors. As I become aware of these places I will post. The following are open for FREE OUTDOOR skating:
