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!
