Go Ice Skating At The Pelham Civic Complex

Here in the South, ice skating is something of an anomaly. In a climate where sub-freezing temperatures are relatively rare (and often a source of regional alarm), we don’t grow up gliding along frozen ponds; it’s not second nature to gracefully maneuver on shoes with blades attached to the bottom. But even born-and-bred Southerners can discover the joys of ice skating at the Ice Arena at the Pelham Civic Complex. Public rink sessions and skate rentals, focused classes, and seasonal camps can help you become a seasoned skater in no time.

Public Skating

Anyone can join the fun during scheduled public skating sessions at the Pelham Ice Arena. At just $7 admission and $2 for skate rental, public skating here is an easy and affordable way to get a feel for this exciting pastime. There are also special group rates that can save you the skate rental charge. Session times vary, but a schedule is posted on the Civic Complex website. Fun lighting and music pumps up the energy for public skate sessions that take place from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. You can also book a party room for special occasions.

Learn to Skate

Skating School at the Pelham Ice Arena offers instruction by experienced coaches for students of all ages and skill levels. Various Learn to Skate classes are open to adults and children as young as age 3.
