The Department of Parks and Recreation staff welcomes you to   the Winter Sports Park. For your safety please observe all rules  and regulations. The Winter Sports Park provides a community   venue for many popular winter recreational activities. 

Included within the park are designated areas for sledding, ice  skating, hockey, and skiing or snowboarding. The ice rinks are  resurfaced daily. The ice skate rental fee is $5.00 per pair. Admission to the park is free. The WSP also has a wonderful warming house with fireplace, seating, concession stand, drinking fountain, tables, free wireless Internet access and restrooms. The park typically opens in late December and closes in early March. During the summer months the Winter Sports Park is utilized for Kids Camp and Tee Ball. There are also three basketball hoops for informal play.
