Paula Atkins, Event Program Manager for Downtown Commons, said last month that the rink will be open to the public Friday, November 24 (the day after Thanksgiving).

The new public event space, which is still under construction, is surrounded by 2nd St., Legion St., 3rd St., and Main St.

Durrett said in email about about Downtown Commons that the rink will be finished later this week. He said Christmas activities centered around the rink will also be scheduled throughout the month of December.

The public is welcome to use the new rink during operating hours at the cost of $10 per person. Ice skates will be provided and skaters can enjoy 75-minute long skating sessions.

The ice skating rink will be open on Nov. 24 from 6:30 p.m. to 10:45 p.m. Regular operating hours will be Monday through Thursday from 3:30 p.m. to 9:15 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 9:15 p.m., and Sunday from 2 p.m. to 9:15 p.m. Hours may vary on holidays or during special events.

The ticketing office will open approximately 30 minutes before operating hours begin.
