Ice Skating in the Village
There are two parks in the Village that provide
opportunities for ice skating in
the winter.
Spring Lake Park provides open skating from dawn
to dusk -- when ice
thickness is appropriate. Skaters should be aware that it
takes at least six
inches of ice before it is safe to skate on the lake. (Keep
in mind that the lake
is 14 feet deep in some spots.) Signs will be posted on the
beach end of the
lake advising users when it is safe to skate. Watch for signs
at the park
indicating that it is open for skating or check for information
on Cable
Channel 10.
North Park provides two locations for skating. The
front rink (surrounded by
hay bales) is for hockey, and the back rink (behind the concession/restroom/warming
building) is available for figure skating. Watch
for signs at the park that indicate the ice is ready for
skating.
At North Park the concession/restroom/warming building
provides an
opportunity for skaters to come in out of the cold. The
walkway, adjacent to
the restrooms, has radiant heaters. The heaters are operated
by a push button
on the wall. Happy skating! |
