Arrived
shortly
after
the
start
of
public
skating
on
a
holiday
weekend.
We
had
a
short
wait
to
pay,
and
fees
were
quite
reasonable.
priced.
The
cashier
was
very
pleasant
and
helpful.
There
was
a
slightly
longer
wait
to
rent
skates.
They
take
your
shoes
in
exchange
for
the
skates,
so
you're
wearing
skates
long
before
you
reach
the
ice
rink.
It
feels
strange
to
walk
to
the
rink
and
restrooms
on
skates,
but
the
rubber
floors
protect
the
blades.
It's
also
a
bit
of
a
dicey
walk
up
and
down
the
stairs,
for
those
of
us
who
haven't
been
on
skates
in
decades,
but
grandma
&
grandpa
both
managed
it.
We
also
rented
sturdy
plastic"helpers"
for
the
Seniors
and
the
7-yr-old
in
our
group,
which
REALLY
helped
us
feel
safer
and
enabled
us
to
enjoy
several
laps
around
the
very
long
track.
Note:
If
you
need
to
rent
"helpers,"
we
recommend
either
arriving
early
or
being
very
patient,
because
(for
safety
reasons)
there
are
only
a
limited
number
available.
Renters
surrender
either
keys
or
ID
as
a
deposit,
so
it's
not
practical
for
someone
to
abandon
or
lend
a
"helper,"
even
to
a
kind
or
convincing
stranger.
The
ice
rink
itself
is
huge
and
seems
well
maintained
and
efficiently
used.
During
our
public
skating
session,
there
were
also
two
separate
activities
(speed
skating
coaching
+
hockey)
taking
place,
on
two
good-sized
rinks
in
the
center
of
the
track.
Overall,
this
was
a
fun
and
very
affordable
outing
for
all
ages.
