The tunes of Frank Sinatra and other classic crooners can be heard bellowing over the rink. The small, quaint rink is the perfect spot for beginner gliding.

Feel free to grab a hot chocolate or cider before or after making turns around the rink. In the evenings, the elk antlers and Town Square lights illuminate the ice for evening skating.
