2020-21 Condition Report
The Park District makes ice between December 15 and February 15- weather permitting. The Park District does not utilize refrigerant coils for establishing ice rinks. Making ice requires a prolonged period of time when both the daytime and evening temperatures remain below 22° with several inches of frost in the ground.
Arlington Heights Park District prohibits ice skating on any pond or lake. The constant flow of water does not allow them to freeze solid enough for skaters.
After February 15th, staff will continue daily maintenance of existing ice at each location, but will not attempt to reestablish rinks once they have deteriorated to where they are unusable.
Ice Maintenance is scheduled Monday - Friday until 11:00 am, weather permitting. Rinks are not open during this time. To prevent damage to the ice surface, please refrain from entering ice rink areas when they are posted as closed or during ice maintenance.
This page will be updated on a regular basis during the season when conditions are favorable for ice making.
Thank you.
