Outdoor Ice-Skating Rinks in Evanston Parks
Rink Status: |
Ice-skating rinks are closed for the season. |
During the witner, ice-skating rinks are located at Ackerman Park, Central St. at McDaniel; Bent Park, Central at Cowper;
the Dawes Park Lagoon, Sheridan Rd. at Church St.; Larimer Park, north of
Crain St. at Oak Ave.; Baker Park, Forest Ave. at Keeney St.; and the former Kendall College site at Sherman Ave. at Lincoln St. Please be aware that there are no attendants on 
duty to supervise rinks and shelter houses will not be open.
When is ice ready for skating? It takes three consecutive days of temperatures 15 degrees or lower to have sufficient frost penetration of the ground. It then takes at least six days of applying water to have ice thick enough to skate upon. A WARM SPELL WILL DISRUPT THE ICE-MAKING PROCESS.
Traditionally, the latest dates skating takes place is in mid-February. For a recorded message regarding outdoor ice rink conditions, please call 847/859-7822, ext. 8.
