After record-high December temperatures melted the ice at Red Arrow’s outdoor rink, parks staff had to start from scratch on ice preparation, and now Slice of Ice is set to open just in time for the holiday.
Slice of Ice at Red Arrow Park, sponsored by WaterStone Bank, is expected to open on Friday, December 24 from 11am – 8pm. The rink will also open on December 25 from 3 – 11pm and then daily, 10am – 11pm, until Jan 1.
Additional opening hours in the New Year will be posted at www.sliceofice.com
No reservations are needed this season, and as usual, the rink will offer free skating for visitors with their own skates, and skate rentals are available for $9 for adults and $7 for under 18.
