Public skate update
In March of 2025 the Rolling Meadows Park District will be changing registration sofware. This will affect any skaters in our Public Skate pass holders.
Any skater wanting to use a season pass for public skate will need to create an account in our new Civic Rec software program. If you have a current public skate pass, your access will be transfered to your new account, but you still need to create your account in Civic Rec.

Importance of Ice Maintenance
We sincerely value our community's use of our rinks and the shared commitment to maintaining them as safe and enjoyable spaces for everyone. To ensure the quality and safety of the ice for all users, consistent and thorough ice maintenance is critical. This involves tasks such as measuring and recording ice thickness, edging, shaving, and adding water to maintain the ideal ice condition. Proper ice thickness reduces wear and tear on key systems, including compressors, HVAC units, the rink infrastructure, and the ice resurfacer. This not only improves safety and quality for users but also allows us to provide reliable, high-quality ice while conserving energy.
A less visible but essential aspect of ice maintenance is air quality management. After 2–3 hours of ice work, the building's HVAC system must restore safe air conditions for patrons. Safety remains our top priority, which is why the rink may occasionally appear unused following maintenance...we're just preparing for our next users.
