What makes this rink distinctive
A park-district rink with two sheets: the Weinberg Family Recreation Center pairs a main rink and a studio rink, both lighted and refrigerated, in Watts Park — with open hockey, lessons, private rentals and theme skates alongside public sessions. Weekend skating is a season-pass perk, so weekday visits are the move for day guests.
