Ice Skating
Ice Skating in the Park
November 20, 2025 - Early March, 2026
Kelsey-Hutchinson Founders Park
November through March, you can embark on an ice adventure. As stars glisten in the sky and children’s laughter sings, the ice-skating rink at Kelsey-Hutchinson Founders Park comes alive. If barreling across the rink isn’t your scene, grab a cup of hot chocolate or coffee, and stay toasty as you watch the activity on the ice. It’s like something from a Currier & Ives print, and its heaps of fun whether you’re on the ice or just watching.
