Enjoy the winter season with open skating in Ramsey County! Our staff and dedicated volunteers work hard all season to maintain and keep rinks open as the weather allows. We appreciate your patience and cooperation in staying off closed rinks until they are announced as open. For your safety and to prevent damage to our rinks and athletic fields, please do not enter closed rinks. Never use rink areas as a dog park. Please visit one of our dog parks for off-leash fun.

Volunteer Opportunities
Experience shows the best rinks are those that benefit from the assistance of community volunteers. Volunteers are needed to help with rink flooding and other duties. Night availability is especially desired. Interested in becoming a volunteer? Tell us more by completing the volunteer form.
How You Can Help
Our maintenance crew and dedicated volunteers work hard to keep the rinks clear, but Minnesota snow can pile up fast. Even if you feel you can't commit to volunteering, you can still help by shoveling snow when you visit the rinks. Please be sure to shovel snow off the ice and over the boards. When snow gets shoveled against the boards and around the edge of the rink, it often freezes and can quickly reduce the skateable surface area of the rink.
