Pop-Up Ice Rink Coming to North Monroe

1393

Soon Rosa Parks Circle Ice Rink won’t be the only outdoor skating venue in town.

Downtown Grand Rapids Inc. is waiting for temperatures to drop so it can open a newly situated pop-up rink at North Monroe. The ice rink is in the parking lot where Movies on Monroe, at 555 Monroe Ave. NW, was held during the summer.

Guests can ice skate for free, provided they bring their own skates, or sign up to join a league should they desire something a little more competitive. Leagues include pond hockey, broom ball, and ice soccer through the Grand Rapids Sports & Social Club and drop-in hockey run by Wednesday Night Shinny.

Keep an eye on DGRI’s social media accounts for information on the ice rinks opening, which will be dependent on the weather.
