About the Outdoor Skating Pond
The outdoor skating pond is located east of the Muddy Creek Bridge and Kate Wickham Elementary School on the Brown Deer Golf Club. The rink is opened and closed after inspections by the Coralville parks staff. Users should also check the ice before skating.
You Should Know

- Use at your own risk. An adult should always check the ice for self or for minors before skating.
- Ice that is cracking, heaving, or has water around edges should not be used.
- Do not use if the ice is covered with snow. By using the ice before it is cleaned, it makes it hard to make the ice smooth again.

- No ice fishing or drilling into ice.
- Be aware of stray hockey pucks. First come, first activity prevails.
Parking
