A brand-new outdoor ice rink is open for business and ready for skaters on December 22, 2010! Mayor Dwight C. Jones announced the imminent opening of an 8,400 square foot ice skating rink. Work has begun to prepare the site for the installation of the rink, which is expected to be in place within two weeks. “Plan to get those ice skates out or rent a pair on site, but do prepare to come downtown and enjoy the skating pleasure this holiday season,” said Mayor Jones.
The city’s new ice skating rink will be located adjacent to Center Stage at 6th Street on the Broad Street side. Children under 10 will be allowed free admission and will require adult supervision. The admission price for all others will be $5 per person. Skate rentals are $3 a pair for kids and $5 for adults. Rink users can bring their own skates.
A grand opening event for the rink is being planned for the evening of December 22nd at 6:00 p.m. Holiday hours and a further, set schedule will be released soon after. Click here for more information on Richmond’s new ice skating rink.
