In episode one of my new video series, “The Sunriver Real Estate Show” we take a look at the new Sunriver Ice Skating Rink and what new features it has to offer to those who love this longstanding Sunriver tradition.
Here’s a transcript of the show:
Ice skating has been a part of the Sunriver scene for decades. Many families have enjoyed great memories at the Ice Skating Rink in the Sunriver Village Mall. In 2011, the ice skating rink was completely renovated. The new design is a welcome update to this long standing Sunriver Tradition.
A great new feature of the rink is the addition of both an outdoor and indoor sitting area for tired parents who just want to watch their family skate to their hearts content. The sitting areas come complete with a gas fireplace to keep you warm and cozy while you watch the kids.
A new roof and wall system was added to the rink to create a more pleasant skating environment that is reminiscent of a Norman Rockwell Village. During the summer months, the ice skating rink doubles as a miniature golf and bumper car facility.
Ice Skating is open every day during the winter.
Monday Tuesday &Thursday the rink is open for one skating session between the hours of 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Wednesdays operating hours are from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
On Friday’s there are two skating sessions…one in the morning from 10:00 a.m. to 2 P.m. and the second session is open from 3:00 to 9:00 p.m.
On Saturday skaters can choose from 3 different session times. 10:00 a.m. to 1 p.m., 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. and a third session from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
Finally on Sunday, you can choose between two skating sessions the first at 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and the second from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Prices for each session are $12.00 for ages 13 and older and children ages 6 to 12 are $8:00. Children 5 and under skate free with the purchase of an accompanying adult ticket. There’s also a $3:00 discount if you have your own skates and you can also purchase a season pass. Skating lessons are also available for private and semi-private groups throughout the week for all skating levels.
