New Holiday Ice Skating Rink Opens at Wentworth Park in Garfield Ridge
By Socialhood News · Il/Chicago/Garfield Ridge ·
Garfield Ridge families have a festive new winter activity right in their neighborhood as Wentworth Park unveils its newly installed ice skating rink just in time for the holiday season. Located at 5625 S Mobile Ave, the park's latest addition provides residents with a convenient outdoor winter recreation option without having to travel downtown.
The rink, which opened to the public on December 1, is part of the Chicago Park District's winter recreation expansion and will be available for use throughout the winter season, weather permitting. "This addition reflects our commitment to providing quality recreational opportunities in every Chicago neighborhood," explained Park Supervisor Miguel Santiago. Wentworth Park already features numerous amenities including a gymnasium, multi-purpose clubrooms, and athletic fields, with the ice rink enhancing its winter offerings.
Residents interested in using the new ice skating facility can find operating hours and special holiday skating events on the Chicago Park District website. The Park District will offer skate rentals during scheduled hours, and community skating lessons are planned to begin in January. Garfield Ridge families are encouraged to visit the rink during the upcoming holiday-themed community skating event scheduled for Saturday, December 13.
