ICE RINK RULES AND REGULATIONS • Hockey and Broomball are allowed only on the boarded rinks at Centennial Park. No pucks or sticks are allowed on free- skating areas. • No alcoholic beverages are allowed. • Skate safely and in a controlled manner to avoid collisions with other skaters. • Refrain from offensive language and behavior. • No bottles or glass are allowed on rinks. • Children ages 8 and younger must be supervised by an adult. • Violation of posted rules may result in suspension from the ice rink and/or a fine.
ICE RINK REMINDERS • The ice rinks are natural rinks that are dependent on weather conditions for ice quality. • The rinks are designed for recreational skating only and are not maintained at professional or competitive skating standards. • A minimum of 72 hours of constant temperatures of 15 degrees or below is necessary before the ice-making process can begin. Then, additional time is needed to ensure that the ice has sufficient time to freeze to create an adequate skating surface. • The ice skating season is entirely dependent upon consistently cold winter temperatures and conditions. These aspects affect the timing and availability of ice-skating throughout the winter season. To find out if ice skating is available at any of our outdoor rinks, refer to: www.napervilleparks.org/cancellations.
HOCKEY STICKS Hockey sticks are only permitted on the two Centennial Park hockey board rinks. Hockey sticks are not permitted on the free skating areas at Centennial Park, Wolf's Crossing Community Park, Gartner Park, or Nike Sports Complex. RED AND GREEN FLAGS Red and Green Flags Indicate Ice Rink Status. The District posts red flags or green flags at its ice skating rinks to indicate whether they are closed or open, providing a user-friendly and visible signal to people at park locations. The District also updates the status of ice rinks at napervilleparks.org/cancellations, allowing residents the ability to check on the status of rinks prior to leaving their home. Skaters should not use ice rinks when they are posted as closed on the website or when a red flag is flying at the rink. LIGHTED ICE RINKS Lighted ice rinks operate through use of a push-button located at each rink. Lights are available when the rinks are open for use. Lighted ice rinks close at 10:00 pm.
