If there’s one positive about the unusually cold and wintry weather we’ve been having this year, it’s that the Webster Recreation Center has been able to get their beautiful outdoor ice rink prepped and ready for skating.
The rink, located at the Webster Recreation Center at 1350 Chiyoda Dr. (just north of the village off of Phillips Rd.), is big — 52 ft. by 104 ft. — offering plenty of room for skaters of all abilities. Plus, it’s totally FREE for anyone to use. You don’t even have to be a member of the Rec Center. There’s even a warming shed where you can sit to put on your skates. You’ll want to bring your own skates, though, because rentals are not available.
The rink can be used at any time of day, and it’s even lit at night. And did I mention it’s FREE?
If you’re ever wondering if the rink is open, there are a few easy ways to find out. You can visit the Webster Recreation Center’s Facebook page, where the rink’s status will be posted, or (even easier) you can call the ice rink hotline at 585-872-7103 (option 3). There’s always a sign posted on the rink as well saying whether it’s open or closed.If it’s closed, please stay off the ice, because if the ice is too thin, the liner could get damaged.
Have fun and share the ice with everyone who’s there!!
