No ice is completely safe. Opening an ice rink or lagoon for skating involves careful assessment. Always check the status online or call the Parks office before skating. Each rink and lagoon's status is listed and updated promptly. To prevent extended closures from damaged ice, rinks/lagoons will close if meltwater is visible. See Declaring a Rink or Lagoon as Open for more information. 

Elver, Tenney & Vilas Skate Equipment Rentals and Concessions
Three locations offer a staffed warming shelter with skate rentals and concessions when the rink or lagoon at that park is listed as open - Wednesday - Sunday only. Hours are subject to change. All winter activities are dependent on the weather and conditions. Opening day is to be determined.  

LOANER SKATES 
Free-to-use skates are available at Olbrich, Warner and Westmorland Parks. Borrow a pair of ice skates to use while at the rink. Limited quantities and sizes are available from inside the warming shelter. Please wipe down and return before leaving the park. 

EVENTS & GROUP OUTING
Attend a winter event open to the community or reserve a winter recreation party for your group. All winter activities depend on the weather and conditions and are subject to change.

RESTROOMS
Indoor and portable restrooms are provided at a number of parks. See the webpage for open locations. 

PETS & BIKES
Bikes and pets, including well-behaved dogs, are never allowed on any ice rink or lagoon.  See Dogs in Parks for locations where allowed. 

A big thank you to our many volunteers and the ADOPT ICE PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM!
