The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board reminds park visitors that most of its 47 outdoor ice rinks and warming houses will be closed for the season as of Tuesday, Feb. 19, while rinks at Lake of the Isles, Bohanon, McRae and Van Cleve parks are slated to remain open through March 3, weather and ice conditions permitting.

Because most park rinks are located atop athletic fields, prolonged usage could be detrimental to field conditions and cause delays in preparing fields for spring athletic programs.

For those not ready to kick off their skates, Parade Ice Garden offers public indoor skating and group rentals. Call 612-370-4846 for more information.
