The open-air natural ice sheet is maintained by Birmingham Parks and Recreation and neighborhood volunteers, offering pure old-fashioned neighborhood winter charm. Admission is completely free, and the rink is open daily during daylight hours for public pleasure skating and designated stick-and-puck sessions. Families should bring their own ice skates, helmets, and thermoses of hot cocoa. Benches surrounding the ice allow parents to supervise easily, and nearby snowy knolls offer spontaneous sledding fun for young children. ## Similar picks in Detroit - [Buhr Park Outdoor Ice Arena: Open-Air Covered Ice Skating](https://grassyknees.com/detroit/activities/buhr-park-outdoor-ice-arena-open-air-covered-ice-skating--listing-700a1986b28d19c99bb71d43) — Nov 15 – Feb 28 · 12:00 PM – 8:00 PM · Buhr Park Outdoor Ice Arena, Ann Arbor · All ages · From $6 · checked Nov 4.
