The ice skating rink usually opens in late November and stays open through late February or March, depending on weather. Covid restrictions limited capacity to less than half, skaters were encouraged to social distance, and skaters were required to wear proper face masks. This year the rink was forced to close January 3, after only six weeks, because it wasn't possible to comply with COVID-19 restrictions and still be profitable.
