THANKS FOR A GREAT SEASON! The Ice Rink is now closed for the winter. We'll see you in November, 2013!

Sheltered under the covered pavilion, the MetroParks Ice Rink measures 70' x 150' and sets the scene as a perfect winter wonderland in downtown Dayton.

Details
The ice rink will host outdoor skating starting November 25, 2012 through February 28, 2013. Patrons may skate daily. Monday through Thursdays, there is no admission charge, so if you have your own skates, you can practice your figure-eights for free.

Admission & Skate Rental Fees
Weekdays: No admission fee; ice skate rentals are $5
Weekends (Fri, Sat, Sun) and Holidays: admission is $7 and includes the use of skates. Ages 3 and under are free with a paying adult.

While the rink is open, you can enjoy delicious treats from Café Vélo, including a cup of hot chocolate.

Hours
Mon-Thu: 2:30 PM - 5 PM
Fri: 2:30 PM - 10 PM
Sat: 11 AM - 10 PM

Broomball
Those who are into something a bit more competitive should check out broomball. Broomball is a team sport played on ice. Players wear shoes rather than skates, and use a “broom” (a stick shaped like a broom) to move the ball around the ice and score goals. Rules and strategies are similar to those of ice hockey. Signups for Broomball begins November 5 and registration is $290 per team. To register your team, visit www.DaytonBroomball.org/riverscape.

Rent the Rink!
Rink Rentals are available on Sun/Thurs evenings from 6-8 PM and are $300. Includes 50 pairs of skates and 50 cups of hot chocolate. You can add Parker the Penguin to your Rink Rental this year for an additional $75. Call (937) 274-0126 for further details.
