Did you know that the park district owns and maintains over 400 acres of land? With over 35 park locations, there are ample opportunities to experience the great outdoors during the every season.

ICE SKATING
The Park District creates ice skating rinks at two locations, Leiseberg Park for free-style skating and at Community Park for hockey play.  The rinks are designated for different experiences for safety reasons; please utilize the rinks in the way they are designated.  The rinks are made when temperatures are low enough for crews to flood or layer ice for the skating surface.  Both rinks are inspected and a flag system is utilized to signify skating conditions.    

RED FLAG indicates that conditions are not safe. Skating is not permitted.
GREEN FLAG indicates that the skating surface is ready for use.
 

CURRENT CONDITIONS:

NEW THIS YEAR!

Please note that the Park District no longer makes skating rinks on ponds and will not monitor ice thicknesses on these ponds.

KEEP OFF ALL POND ICE!
