If you can’t beat Old Man Winter, then join him, and join US for the fourth annual “Evening on Ice” skating party on Saturday, February 21 at Steinberg Memorial Skating Rink. You are invited to enjoy two hours of private skating in the great outdoors, on one of the largest rinks in the country.
A roaring bonfire at rinkside will keep you warm when you aren’t doing your laps. Broom hockey buffs, bring your brooms! Skating begins at 5:15 p.m. and ends at 7:15 p.m. You may arrive early if you like to claim a locker and get into your skates.
Admission is $2 for adults, $1 for young people ages 6 to 18. Children under 6 are free. Those with paid admission are eligible to win one of several door prizes. You can also obtain specially reduced prices on the food service menu, which includes items from popcorn to pizza. Tickets should be obtained in advance from any member of the Skinker-DeBaliviere Community Council or an officer of the Rosedale Neighborhood Association. Rink regulations prevent us from offering tickets for sale at the gate. Call the SDCC office (862-5122) or Bob Dowgwillo (726-0740) for further information. Steinberg Rink is located at the east end of Forest Park, within sight of Children’s Hospital.
While the rink itself is outside, the heated indoor facilities include a changing area, lockers, restrooms, a staffed first aid room, and a newly refurbished food concession. Skates (hockey, figure, or speed) can be rented for 75¢; skate sharpening is $3. Locker rental is 25¢.
