About this adventure
Located on Ann Arbor's south side, the Buhr Park Outdoor Ice Arena features a unique open-air design with a protective roof overhead and open sides that let in crisp winter breezes while shielding skaters from snowstorms. The full-size 200-foot by 85-foot rink utilizes a refrigerated subfloor system that maintains hard ice even when outdoor winter temperatures rise above 50°F. Public open skate sessions welcome all skill levels, with free admission for children ages 3 and under accompanied by an adult. The facility features a heated indoor warming lobby with coin-operated lockers, skate rental counters, sharpening services, and hot beverage vending. Family-friendly weekend afternoon sessions provide plenty of room for young children learning to glide.
