Here's what you need to know before coming to Cass Park Rink to skate:
- Masks must be worn at all times in the building and in the rink (except for those under 2 years of age).
- It is important to maintain social distancing (minimum of 6 ft), except for members of the same household.
- To improve social distancing there are directional signs for people to follow located throughout the building and rink.
- Please plan to arrive no more than 10 minutes prior to your session and leave the building within 10 minutes of the session ending. Those arriving more than 10 minutes before the start of their session should remain in their cars or wait outside the building.
- Public skating sessions are limited to 40 skaters total.
- Skaters are encouraged to use our online public skating registration, Community Pass to pre-purchase their session admission.
- There will be a very limited number of walk up spots designated for each public session. Once the 40 person capacity is reached, no additional skaters will be admitted unless someone leaves.
- Child/Student skaters may be accompanied by only one non-skating adult spectator. We ask that caregivers/spectators stay in the open air area around the rink or wait outside rather than remaining inside the building.
- Adult skaters may not be accompanied by any non-skating spectators.
Your compliance with the protocols and procedures listed above will help us keep the rink open and people safe and healthy.
