🚨Freestyle Skate Cancellation 🚨

Due to the power surge on Saturday evening, the ice surface softened and needs additional time to build back up.

As a result, today (8/3) and tomorrow's (8/4) Freestyle Skate from 3:30–5:30 pm has been cancelled.

We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience as our team works to restore the ice to the safe, high-quality conditions our skaters expect.
