One is located at South Lakeview Park off West Erie Avenue, and the other is located at Oakwood Park off of Grove Avenue.

Both ice rink locations have repurposed others sports’ arenas for use during their off-seasons, including the soon-to-be fully resurfaced tennis courts at Lakeview Park and one of the baseball fields at Oakwood Park.

The Lakeview Park rink hosts views of Lake Erie while you are on the ice, and you can even catch a glimpse of the Lorain Lighthouse while you’re in the park. At this rink, skaters need to bring equipment of their own. But the rink is never crowded, so if you have skates, head on over and celebrate the six more weeks of winter that may be in our future.

On our city’s south side, the Oakwood Park baseball fields are sporting a new look with the addition of our city’s second ice rink. The Friends of South Lorain offer Community Days on Fridays and Saturdays, where they offer free skate rentals, hot chocolate, music, and more!

Both rinks are free to use and are available as long as weather conditions allow the ice to freeze.
We hope to see you at the rinks!
