Riley Park Ice Rink is celebrating 10 years. It’s located in the heart of Downtown Farmington, transforming Riley Park into a festive winter destination each year. The 4,800-square-foot refrigerated rink, measuring 80 by 40 feet, typically opens in mid-December, weather permitting, and operates through the winter season. Admission is free, but donations are encouraged to help cover maintenance costs. While skate rentals aren't available, the rink does offer some donated skates for use.

The rink is open daily with hours from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. Special events, such as themed holiday skates, add to the excitement throughout the season.
