🛷Naperville Park District Ice Rinks

Red and Green Flags Indicate the Ice Rink's Status
The Park District posts red flags or green flags at its ice skating rinks to indicate whether they are closed or open, providing a user-friendly and visible signal to people at park locations. The District also updates the status of ice rinks at www.napervilleparks.org/cancellations, allowing residents the ability to check on the status of rinks before leaving their homes. Skaters should not use ice rinks when they are posted as closed on the website or when a red flag is flying at the rink.

The season is Dec. 15-Feb. 15 (weather permitting)
Skating areas typically open on or after December 15; however, they can open only after a period of extreme cold. Weather and conditions permitting, the skating season continues through February 15.
