## About

Halloran Skating Rink on Cleveland’s West Side has served as the neighborhood’s beloved winter recreation staple for generations. Operated by the City of Cleveland, this public ice arena offers free and affordable open family skating sessions throughout December, January, and February under a large covered pavilion structure that protects skaters from precipitation while maintaining a crisp open-air atmosphere. Novice youth skaters can rent affordable rental skates and borrow balance training walkers to build confidence on the ice alongside family and friends. Upbeat music plays over the sound system, creating a joyful community vibe. A heated warming room with bench seating, concession vending machines, and clean restrooms provides skaters with a welcoming place to untie laces and sip hot drinks between laps.

Family Experience & Accessibility:
• Stroller Accessibility: Street-level access from West 117th Street with smooth concrete walkways into the warming lobby and flat rubber mats around rink gates.
• Nursing & Rest Spots: Heated indoor warming pavilion with wooden benches and viewing tables; clean public restrooms with changing tables available inside the recreation building.
• Age Suitability: All ages welcome; double-runner beginner skates and training walkers accommodate preschoolers and young kids.
• Sensory Tips: Open-air covered rink with crisp winter airflow and energetic family pop music; visit early during public sessions for fewer crowds on the ice.
