New Ice Rental Rates in Effect January 2024

City Council has approved new ice rental rates effective January 2, 2024. The new “Prime” and Non-Prime” rates will be for both adults and youth. The change supports the City’s new on-line recreation software that also launches in January, giving residents the option to book ice rentals, swimming lessons, and more on one convenient website.

The Prime rate of $155 will apply Monday to Friday from 5:00 p.m. to midnight and on weekends. The Non-Prime rate of $125 will apply Monday to Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The City has dropped the “summer ice rate.” Prime and Non-Prime rates will apply year-round. Regular ice users who have already booked their rental times, will pay their existing fees until the end of the season March 31, 2024.

The change in ice rental rates will not impact the City’s user fee revenue, with the hope that the simplified price and new online booking system will encourage future ice rentals. Pre-school and adult skates Monday to Friday will remain free. The price for lobby rental and non-residential or commercial ice rentals will stay the same, and the weekend community skates will remain at $5 per person, children under 4 free of charge.
