Lace Up Those Skates

Looking for something to do this winter instead of staying bundled up indoors until spring arrives? Westerly has just opened its very own ice rink, the Washington Trust Community Skating rink, on Main Street. The ice rink is now open seven days a week through March. If you do not have your own skates, the rink has over 250 ice skates for people to rent, making for an affordable day out. Skaters can take a little breather and visit the concession stand, located in the skate shack, for a well-deserved snack. The rink will be open Monday-Friday from 3pm-9pm and then on Saturday and Sunday from 11am-9pm. Aside from their regular hours, you can also schedule the ice rink for use for private parties or lessons. Admission for children and seniors will be $5, adults $7. The Washington Trust Community Skating Rink is something that can be fun for everyone. Perhaps you will learn to be the next Scott Hamilton or Sasha Cohen. 85 Main Street, Westerly. 742-7563, www.westerlylandtrust.org.
