Ice Skating at LaVern M. Johnson Park

  1. 1
  2. 2
  3. 3
During the winter months, the enclosed grassy area in the west portion of LaVern M. Johnson Park is converted into a community ice rink! The weather-dependent rink is made from the adjacent St. Vrain Creek water. The rink is completely reliant on weather, as the Town does not have a chiller to maintain the ice. Furthermore, while the Parks and Public Works teams provide general maintenance, ice conditions are not guaranteed, and users should use always caution when skating.

Skating and any use of the rink is at the user's own risk!

The ice rink hours are 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily, weather permitting. Users may rent skates from the concession stand (information below) or use their own. Skating is free of cost; however, the park's vehicle parking fees are enforced.

Ice Rink Usage Schedule

Refer to the following table for the usage schedule of the LaVern M. Johnson Park Ice Rink.
