The City of Waukesha has good news for ice skating aficionados: the Lowell Park ice skating rink is now open to the public. Situated at 2201 Michigan Ave, it's a chill spot to glide through the winter days. Despite the recent cold snap turning everything frosty, the Buchner rink is playing catch-up, still under the wraps of work. So the City of Waukesha is sending a friendly reminder: "Please stay off the ice at Buchner until it's ready."
According to a post on the City of Waukesha Facebook page, it's BYOS - Bring Your Own Skates. Don't expect to rent a pair on-site at these local parks. This could be a slight inconvenience for those not having their own pair, but it's the trade-off for a free-to-access rink. And while you're lacing up your skates, keep in mind that Buchner's grand opening is still to come, with no definite date on when it will join its compatriot in wintry fun.
The announcement, published on Monday, is lean on details but big on enthusiasm: "The Lowell Park ice skating rink (2201 Michigan Ave) is open and ready for use! ⛸️" Such straightforwardness is refreshing, akin to the brisk Wisconsin air that will no doubt guarantee a pure ice surface. For details on the rinks and rules, citizens are directed to the City of Waukesha website, though information there too may be as sparse as a leafless tree in January.
