About this adventure
Walnut Creek's seasonal open-air ice rink in Civic Park turns the heart of the East Bay into a festive winter wonderland from late November through Martin Luther King Jr. Day. In addition to a large outdoor real-ice sheet, the park features 'Frosty's Summit Ice Slide', a multi-lane snow-and-ice toboggan slide that sends riders zooming down in specialized sled saucers. Novice skaters can rent sturdy skating walker aids ($15) on a first-come, first-served basis. Civic Park offers broad stroller-friendly perimeter walkways, a nearby nature playground with swings and play structures, and easy walking distance to downtown Walnut Creek restaurants and bakeries. The entire event operates cashless; reserve 90-minute session passes online in advance.
