GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – The ice-skating season at Rosa Parks Circle kicks off at 10 a.m. Friday, Nov. 24. The rink at 135 Monroe Center St. NW will be open daily, weather permitting, through February 25.
Admission to the ice rink is $2 for those 17 years-old and younger and $4 for adults 18 and older. Skate rental is included with admission.
Visitors can walk-up to skate or reserve skate times online. An individual can reserve a skate time for up to six household members. Reservations are free and skaters pay upon arrival. Skaters with reservations are advised to arrive within the first 10 minutes of their start time for a better chance that their skate size will be available.
Reservations for the first two weeks of the season open on Nov. 17 at 8 a.m. HERE. Additional dates will become available up to two weeks in advance starting November 27.
“The ice-skating season is a highly anticipated winter kick-off for our community,” David Marquardt, the City’s parks and recreation director said. “It’s one of the many ways in which we promote Grand Rapids as a four-season destination for outdoor fun.”
In addition to open skate, the rink will host events throughout the winter season, including the annual Christmas tree lighting on Dec. 1. The Parks and Recreation department also plans to once again host snowshoeing, fat tire biking and other winter recreation at Indian Trails Golf Course, as well as free sled rentals at city parks through its GR Outside division when weather permits.
