Outdoor ice rinks
Outdoor ice rinks close for season
With the long-range weather forecast calling for temperatures well above average through mid-February, the city of Minnetonka has suspended maintenance of outdoor ice rinks for the season effective Thursday, February 2. Recent unseasonably warm weather has resulted in a significant loss of ice, while evening temperatures near or above freezing have not allowed city crews to re-flood the rinks. As a result, ice conditions are poor and unfit for skating. Rinks were originally scheduled to remain open through February 20.
Locations
Skating rinks with warming houses are located at seven Minnetonka park and six Hopkins park locations. Warming houses and rinks are located in Minnetonka at Boulder Creek, Covington, Gro Tonka, McKenzie, Meadow and Spring Hill parks and at Gatewood and Glen Lake schools. Hopkins warming houses and rinks are located at Burnes, Central, Harley Hopkins, Interlachen, Oakes and Valley parks. Visit the Parks page for street addresses.
