Plan your visit

You don't need to live in Tompkins County to skate — non-residents pay a slightly higher session rate. Walk-in spots exist only when a session hasn't filled through pre-registration, so booking ahead on CommunityPass is the reliable move.

What makes this rink distinctive

A true community rink on the Cayuga Inlet: multiple public sessions every day from mid-October, lessons in two series each season, and a 120-skater cap that keeps the ice civilized. In summer the same park runs an Olympic-sized pool instead.
