Lakeside Skating Rink

75 days of free neighborhood skating this winter - what a successful season! Our loaner skates, pucks and sticks enabled people to try skating. We just received this thank you card from some young adults who borrowed sticks so they could form a hockey team called the "Pantry Moths". They didn't win any games they said, but they had a ton of fun. Our volunteer powered neighborhood rink is a gem. Thanks Hula, Burlington Parks, Recreation & Waterfront, City of Burlington Public Works Water Resources and all the volunteers who make it happen!

SUNDAY, MARCH 1: Rink is back open! We resurfaced this morning. Rink is in good shape. There are some small leaf holes on the edges. Loaner skates at 58 Conger Ave. Rink open until 10pm daily. These could be the last couple of days. Warm weather coming! Thanks Burlington Parks, Recreation & Waterfront, Hula and Lakeside volunteers for making this happen!

Thanks to everyone who came out to celebrate our great community rink last Friday night! So many kids, teens, adults all having a great time skating under the disco ball. A big shout out to all the volunteers who helped set up, bring food, etc. The Lakeside neighborhood knows how to have fun!

Kick off the weekend by skating with music, lights and friends at our volunteer-run Lakeside neighborhood rink. There will be snacks and hot cocoa. A limited number of loaner skates will be available.

FRIDAY 1/23: RINK RESURFACED & OPEN! Come skate! Loaner skates on porch of 58 Conger. Loaner sticks and pucks by rink. Donations of good comfort skates and sticks always welcome! Thanks Ken & Chapin for resurfacing Thursday nite.

FRIDAY 1/16: January thaw is over! Rink resurfaced last night and we are back open! Loaner skates on porch of 58 Conger Ave. Loaner sticks and pucks by rink. Open nightly until 10am. Thanks volunteers, Burlington Parks, Recreation & Waterfront, Hula and everyone who makes this free resource possible!

1-4-25: RINK OPEN through at least Tuesday, Jan 6. A warm spell later in the week will likely close the rink temporarily. Until then, come skate! We are still looking for donations of additional adult comfort skates. Bring to porch of 58 Conger Ave. A great volunteer task when at the rink is to shovel it off. It helps the resurfacing go more quickly.

1-3-26: RINK OPEN after resurfacing this morning and crack repair. Big use day yesterday! Loaner skates on porch of 58 Conger Ave. Looking for adult skate donations - especially in sizes 6-8. We love it when skaters shovel the rink off throughout the day. Open until 10pm nightly.

12-25-25: RINK OPEN and freshly resurfaced tonight. It will be great skating all weekend long. Loaner skates on 58 Conger Ave porch. Thanks for all the hockey stick donations so far, and we could still use 6-8 more for full pick up games. Open until 10pm nightly. Thanks Hula, Burlington Parks, Recreation & Waterfront, City of Burlington Public Works Water Resources, and all our volunteers!

SAT 12-20-25: RINK BACK OPEN - There are a lot of leaves that blew on rink from storm that come through yesterday. Any help removing as many leaves as possible is great. Loaner skates on porch of 58 Conger Ave. Donations of hockey sticks welcome!
