Holiday Skating in New Town

December 12, 2013

 James City County, Town Management and Iron-Bound Gym are partnering again this holiday season to offer citizens and visitors another family-friendly recreational opportunity, a synthetic ice rink in Sullivan Square. Synthetic ice has a similar surface to ice, and almost anything that can be done on refrigerated ice can be and perfected on this synthetic ice.

The skate rink opens Friday, Nov. 29, operating on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays through Jan. 26; closed Christmas Day. There will also be special school winter break hours.

Skating is $7/person including the skate rental or $5 with your own skates. Season passes are also available for $35/person and include the skate rental.

Children under 12 must be supervised by an adult at all times.

If you’re a local business owner and would like a seasonal sponsorship in the rink, please call Town Management at 757-565-6200.
