About this adventure
Maple Grove Central Park is home to Minnesota's first refrigerated ice skating trail, an 810-foot long, 20-foot wide loop that meanders gracefully through picturesque landscaped park gardens. Because the trail is cooled by an underground refrigeration system, skaters enjoy smooth, glass-like ice from late November well into March, even during unseasonable winter thaws. The trail is illuminated by glowing LED overhead lamps and surrounded by crackling outdoor gas fire pits where families can rest and warm their hands. The Phenow Pavilion offers a heated indoor lounge with floor-to-ceiling glass, skate rentals ($7), concessions, and heated restrooms. Admission to skate the trail is completely free!
