Public Skating Schedule

• Figure Skates - Provide more stability because they have a longer and wider blade.  They have a toe pick, the jagged edge on the front of the blade, which is used for jumps and spins.
• Hockey Skates - Allow for faster and easier turns and pivots due to the slight curve of the blade.  They do not have a toe pick.
• Which Is Easier? - First time skaters sometimes find that the stability of figure skates is helpful.  As the advantage is only slight, however, skaters should consider other factors such as their skating goals and the skate comfort.  Those with larger feet may find that hockey skates are more comfortable. 

• Size Selection - Skates should be snug.  Skate sizes are bigger than shoe sizes, so request skates that are a half to whole size smaller than your shoe size.  Never wear skates that are too big.  You will have difficulty skating and risk injury.  Return to the skate counter to trade for a smaller pair.
• Laces - Loosen the skate laces before sliding the skate onto your foot.  Then lace skates tightly, from toes to the ankles, all the way to the top.  Do not leave any lace holes or hooks unused.  Do not allow laces to drag on the ice as they will create a tripping hazard.
• Socks - Wear just one pair of socks of normal thickness.  Wearing two pairs of socks or extra thick socks may result in a poor fit, cause discomfort and lead to - rather than prevent - blisters.

• We play music from multiple decades and genres:  Pop, Hip-Hop/Rap, Country, Latin, Rock and others.
• ​Music played during our Friday night Public Skating sessions is geared toward teens and adults.  Some songs may contain explicit content, as clean versions of popular songs are not always readily available.
• Music played on Saturday, Sunday or weekday Open Skating sessions is intended to be diverse and family friendly.  If you hear a song with explicit content - we apologize.  Some songs may slip through our streaming filters.  Please notify our staff so that we can skip to the next song.
• Song requests are taken at the skate rental counter.  Please provide the song title and artist.
• At the start or end of sessions, or during very busy sessions, our staff may not be available to take requests or honor all requests.  Our staff may also deem some songs requested as inappropriate for that session.
