Operated by the City of Pittsburgh Department of Parks and Recreation (CitiParks), this expansive refrigerated outdoor rink offers open-air ice skating surrounded by the snow-dusted hardwoods of Schenley Park. The rink hosts dedicated Sunday Family Skate sessions where one adult receives free admission with paid child tickets, as well as mascot visits, Valentine's on Ice, and Learn-to-Skate classes. Sturdy upright skate training aids are available free of charge for toddlers and young beginners discovering their balance on the ice.
