## About

Winterhurst Ice Arena in Lakewood has been a cornerstone of Northern Ohio figure skating and ice hockey since 1931. Featuring two full-sized indoor ice sheets, Winterhurst offers weekly open public skating sessions where families can skate year-round in a climate-controlled indoor arena. Young children and beginner skaters can rent sturdy, dual-runner skates and utilize balanced glide trainers to build their skating confidence safely on the smooth ice. The arena features a heated glass-walled observation lobby with bench seating and picnic tables, letting parents watch skaters in comfort. Concession stands provide hot cocoa, warm pretzels, popcorn, and snacks. Learn-to-skate youth clinics and family discount skate packages make it a staple weekend destination during frosty winter days.

Family Experience & Accessibility:
• Stroller Accessibility: Street-level entrance with ramped doors into the heated lobby and wide rubber-floored pathways leading directly to rinkside gates.
• Nursing & Rest Spots: Enclosed heated lobby with picnic tables and viewing bleachers; multi-stall restrooms with baby changing facilities.
• Age Suitability: All ages welcome; skate trainers and double-runner toddler skates available for children taking their first strides.
• Sensory Tips: Cool, crisp indoor arena air (around 52°F); family pop music is played at moderate volumes; quieter sessions available during Sunday morning public skates.
