ICE at The Parks hosted their annual Learn To Skate Winter Party, Feb. 10. The party is free to all. Goody bags were given to all the skaters. Skaters participate in different activities: sled rides, snowman building (this is a novelty in this part of Texas), snowball target, hockey shooting and of course ice skating.
ICE at the Parks participated in the Greater Homeschool Convention held Feb. 23-25 in Fort Worth, Texas. Our hope is to promote ice skating to homeschool families as a physical education option to their curriculum. Thank you to the ISI office for providing ice skating literature. In addition to learn-to-skate classes, ICE at The Parks promoted ice hockey, birthday party packages and public sessions.
Spring Break is a great time for rinks to host beginner classes, spring camps, etc. ICE at The Parks offered beginner classes during Spring Break in March.
ICE at The Parks hosts a public session theme night on the last Friday of the month. The theme for April was Superhero Night. At these monthly events, prizes are given out and games are played. Some of our upcoming themes will include: Pirate Party, 80s Night, Luau and more. Theme night public sessions are $5 per skater. The staff is encouraged to dress in the theme attire, making the event more festive.
