SIOUX FALLS, SD (KELO.com) — Sioux Falls Parks and Recreation has announced the opening of its six free-to-use outdoor ice rinks for the 2025 season. These rinks are located in various city parks and will be open daily from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. when weather permits. “Our team closely watches the weather for the right conditions for ice rinks so residents can enjoy the free outdoor ice rinks,” said Josh Johnson, Operations Manager for Parks and Recreation. “Ice skating is a great way to stay active and have fun during the winter months, so have fun.”
Sioux Falls outdoor ice rink locations are:
- Campus Park (1700 South Summit Avenue)
- Frank Olson Park (4001 East 16th Street)
- McKennan Park (400 East 26th Street)
- Memorial Park (7500 West 26th Street)
- Sherman Park (2705 West 12th Street)
- Tuthill Park (3500 South Cliff Avenue)
Warming houses with free skate checkouts will be available at Memorial Park, Tuthill Park, and McKennan Park. These warming houses will operate from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 1 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, weather permitting. The warming houses at Campus Park, Sherman Park, and Frank Olson Park will have limited availability, so bring your own skates this season.
Hockey is permitted at all rinks, except for Sherman and Memorial, where it must be played within designated areas. At the other four rinks, hockey is dependent on the number of recreational skaters present.
Sioux Falls Parks and Recreation aims to keep all outdoor rinks open until Presidents’ Day. For more information about outdoor ice rinks, visit siouxfalls.gov/ice-rinks.
