The cold weather has arrived and the rink  is open for skating. Please bundle up and enjoy the brisk winter air all within a stone’s throw of Lexington Center!

The Lexington DPW has completed construction and flooding of the Fletcher Rink- it is ready for a nice cold stretch to make us some ice. We’ll continue to post updates here as we wait for Mother Nature to do her part and get the rink open for 2020!

If you’d like to help support the rink, please grab a shovel and head down to help shovel. Keeping snow off the rink is a important for good ice and many hands make light work!

We take a brief break from updates about the wonderful start of the season to thank our a sponsor for the 2019 season. David Green from Douglas Elliman Real Estate is our first sponsor this season and we want to thank him for his support. Without the financial support of the community, the Fletcher Rink would not be possible.

You can learn more about David below.

We have the first weekend of the open rink under our belt, and it was a great one! With the sunny weather, we had a lot skaters out testing the ice. One other small update:

CRATES!
For those little ones just learning to skate, you can find milk crates near the rink. The crates can be stacked and pushed to help provide some balance as the little ones take their first spin around the ice.

Though it is cold outside, nothing warms you up like a few spins around the rink! Get out there while the getting is good!

We’re happy to announce that the Fletcher Park Rink will open for the season on Sunday, January 13th. We have had a nice cold stretch and one more overnight freeze should have the rink ready to go tomorrow!

Bundle up and bring your skates starting tomorrow. Enjoy the cold crisp winter air with the chance to skate in the outdoors in the heart of Lexington!

We’ve lined and flooded the rink- now we just need some help from Mother Nature. We need a stretch of days with sub-freezing temperatures to help establish a nice ice foundation. Once we’ve gotten that, we’ll open the rink for the season! Hang tight as the weather forecast looks promising!

A brief update. January has come, but the cold New England winter has not yet arrived. We’re waiting out the warm temperatures and will begin making ice as soon as we have a good cold stretch. We’ll keep you posted as we progress and get the rink open for the season.

We had a great season last winter and are looking forward to another great winter season. We’ll continue to post updates here when we have news!

We have the rink closed for the time being due to rain and warm weather. Looks like the cold returns later this week, so hopefully we’ll get it back open before the weekend!
