We are still looking for volunteers to cover weekend shifts. If you are available, please contact icerink.qtn@gmail.com.

Reminder: skating is always weather permitting. The rink may be closed at times to preserve the ice.

Forest fairy lights will be glowing in Elmhurst Forest nightly during the holiday season. Feel free to come and take a walk!

Bring your undecorated Christmas trees to Frank Ryan park after the holidays to help us decorate the ice rinks.

Volunteers Needed: Frank Ryan Park Rink

We’re counting down to the Frank Ryan Park rink opening! We still have many time slots in need of volunteers to keep the fieldhouse open, especially on the weekends. We know that committing to a 2-hour time every weekend can be challenging.

Contact icerink.qtn@gmail.com to volunteer for a regular 2-hour time or if you are available to help on an ad-hoc basis.
