For those looking to make the most of these fleeting icy escapades, the admission remains affordable at $7, and this includes the price of skate rental—there’s no need to rummage through the attic for those rusty blades from yesteryears, as the Ice Rink has skate helpers included which offer a helpful crutch for newcomers or those a little unsteady on their feet, the rink provided sessions on Dec. 31 from noon to 2 PM and 3 to 5 PM but was closed on New Year’s Day to ring in 2026.
The rink has been a seasonal hub of activity and cheer in the community, a frosty nexus where families and friends congregate for winter fun. While the festive lights may have dimmed and the holiday playlists begin to hibernate, the rink’s allure persists for just a few days more. Those interested in making a few more winter memories are encouraged to lace up their skates and carve out time before the opportunity melts away.
The ice rink’s presence in Summit Park is but a slice of the myriad winter delights the city offers, so as we bid adieu to this frozen playground, many patrons are already reflecting on the joys it provided—the scraped knees, the laughter, and that one time Aunt Marge attempted to pirouette and almost took out an entire school field trip, a testament to the community spirit and effervescent energy that has surrounded Summit Park’s rink since it first welcomed its wintry patrons.
