Downtown Denver Rink at Skyline Park Offers Free Skating

FREE ice skating returns to downtown Denver’s Skyline Park for another winter as the Downtown Denver Rink welcomes locals anxious to lace up some blades from November 21, 2022 to February 14, 2023. Bring your own skates or rent a pair — $9 for kids (12 & under) and $11 for everyone else (13 & older.) All 4th graders and those with a MyDenver card get FREE skate rental.

Hours vary, so check the rink’s website.

You can use a locker and key for free with a valid ID. Please note that lockers are limited and available on a first come first serve basis.

This year’s rink is again sponsored by Southwest Airlines.
