JACKSON, Wyo. — The Teton County Fairgrounds outdoor rodeo arena is closed to horseback riders now through the end of winter to transition the arena into the Fairgrounds ice-skating rink, the Town announced this morning.

Water to the arena has been turned off and the facility has been winterized. The arena has also been rolled, hard-packed and not in condition to accommodate horses.

The Teton County/Jackson Parks and Recreation Department will convert the outdoor rodeo arena into an ice-rink once the weather is suitable, which usually occurs in mid December.

The ice-rink is maintained by Parks and Recreation Department and is free to the public.
