Winter Park Use

The City of Fridley maintains four general skating rinks and six hockey rinks in Fridley! Please note, we need ten consecutive days of freezing temperatures to create safe and usable ice. Warm weather, freezing rain, and even snow can slow the process down, but we do our best to get the rinks ready as soon as possible.

General Rinks

General skating rinks are general use, smaller in size, and don't have hockey rink boards.

• Briardale Park (6171 Rice Creek Drive) - Skating Rink
• Hackmann Park (1071 Hackmann Circle) - Skating Rink
• Logan Park (155 Logan Parkway) - Skating Rink
• Sylvan Hills (6205 Jupiter Road) - Skating Rink

Hockey Rinks

Hockey rinks are regulation size and include hockey rink boards.

• Commons Park (555 - 61st Avenue NE)
  • There are two hockey rinks and a warming house at this location. Weather and ice conditions permitting, the warming house will be open Friday, 3:30 - 7 p.m., Saturday/Sunday 1 - 6 p.m. (closed holidays).
  • Rink lights remain on until 9 p.m.
• Flanery Park (1487 Onondaga Street) - Hockey Rink
• Hayes Elementary (615 Mississippi Street) - Hockey Rink
• Madsen Park (7358 73rd Avenue) - Hockey Rink
• Ruth Circle Park (9160 Ashton Avenue) - Hockey Rink

If you are looking for a great place to bring downhill sleds, try out Commons Park (6249 7th Street NE)! The sledding hill is located just beyond the Commons Park playground and picnic shelter.

Enjoy groomed trails in our parks! Trails are groomed to include a three-foot section for cross country skiing and a three-foot section for multi-use.

The multi-use trails can be used for a variety of activities including walking, fat tire biking and snowshoeing. Trails are located at:

• Moore Lake Park
• Commons Park
• Flanery Park
• Meadowlands Park
• Riverview Heights Park

Please note: We do our best to groom the trails weekly depending on snow depths and conditions.
