Winter Facilities

Ice Rinks and Sled Hills
The Park District provides two outdoor ice rinks and two sled hills. The District needs 72 hours of weather below 15 degrees to begin freezing the rinks, followed by at least five days of below-freezing weather before skating is allowed. Sled hills and ice rinks are not supervised. Skating and sledding involve a risk of injury; therefore, participation is at your own risk. Check our website at nbparks.org for current conditions or call the weather hotline at 847·291·2985.
