This place is the only place I can skate cheaply (reasonably enough) and anytime I want. Sure, its crowded but it’s ice and skates.

Love going there

This rink is a little confusing, especially to non regulars, but in reality it’s fine. Better ice than CIP but it seems that figure skating is physically not allowed here unless you want to wake up at 4 in the morning, so two stars off for that. The locker rooms don’t seem to be heated, and as they open directly to the ice, that does seem a problem.
