There is just one day remaining to enjoy free public skating at Stuart Park.

Continued warmer temperatures are making it difficult to maintain the ice surface, so the rink will close on Wednesday, Feb. 21 at 11 a.m.

“We typically like to give more notice about the rink wrapping up for the season, but sometimes it’s just not possible,” says Steve Hebden, recreation facility operations supervisor. “It’s been an excellent season of skating down at the rink, but we are at the point where we need to close the ice surface.”

A reminder to those taking a final lap today to check the live cam before heading to the rink.

Milder temperatures can lead to unscheduled closures which would be noted on the live cam.
