🚨 Newport Skates SEASON CLOSED – THANK YOU FOR A GREAT WINTER ⛸️❄️
Due to the recent rain and warmer temperatures, Newport Skates Ice Rink is now closed for the season as of today, March 11. We will reopen for the 2026/27 season next November, and this May we will be launching pickleball courts at our same location.
While we originally planned to stay open through March 15, the changing weather conditions made it difficult to maintain safe ice quality, so we made the decision to wrap up the season a few days early.
We’re incredibly grateful for everyone who came out to skate this winter! From first-time skaters to families, friends, and community events that made the rink such a special place all season long. 💙
Thank you for being part of it. We can’t wait to see you back on the ice next winter! ❄️⛸️

❄️ We’re heading into our FINAL WEEK! ⛸️
If skating has been “on the list” this winter, now’s the moment to make it happen. Come soak up the last full week of the season on the ice at Newport Skates Ice Rink!
Our closing date for the season is March 15, so there are only a few more chances to skate before we say goodbye to winter.
As temperatures begin to warm up (and with the occasional rain), hours of operation may vary day-to-day depending on weather conditions. Any schedule updates or announcements will always be posted right here, so be sure to check our page before heading over.
We hope to see you on the ice one more time before the season ends! ❄️💙
