Minneapolis Ice Rink Updates from MPRB

Via a January 5 e-announcement from the Minneapolis Park and Rec Board:

Rinks are opening across the city!

Locations:

At the time of this notice, the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board (MPRB) has opened ice rinks for skating and hockey at the following locations: 

  • Bohanon Park - hockey and skating
  • Hiawatha School Park - skating

MPRB staff continue to build rinks at other locations - including broomball rinks. A total of 39 rinks are slated to open: slightly fewer than in previous years, due to impacts from COVID-19.

COVID-19 Guidelines:

Please remember to keep at least 6 feet between yourself and other skaters. The MPRB also recommends that skaters wear a face mask or face covering. Additionally, Executive Order 20-103 requires that all non-organized hockey games be limited to members of the same household.
