## About

Operated by Baltimore City Recreation and Parks, the Mt. Pleasant Ice Arena is Baltimore's beloved year-round municipal ice facility, offering the most affordable family public skating sessions in the metropolitan area. The arena features a full NHL-regulation 200x85-foot sheet of ice, meticulously resurfaced by Zamboni before every public session.

The rink caters warmly to families with young children, providing sturdy skate-aid buckets for toddlers taking their first cautious glides on the ice. Spectators and parents with sleeping infants can relax comfortably in the heated glass-walled observation warming room overlooking the ice. Heated locker areas, family-style restrooms with changing tables, a snack concession with warm pretzels and hot cocoa, and expansive free parking right outside the entrance make this an easy, budget-friendly winter weekend destination.
