The Federal Hill Commons Ice Plaza is extending operating hours for further enjoyment during winter break. Starting Tuesday, December 26, the Ice Plaza will be open daily from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday through Sunday. The rink offers residents a new outdoor recreational activity this winter in downtown Noblesville and has welcomed nearly 4,000 skaters this season. The temporary ice rink is open daily through January 8, 2018 and will close early at 8 p.m. on New Year’s Eve.

“Federal Hill Commons was designed to be a year-round park and we are happy to see the community’s attendance and excitement for ice skating since its opening on November 24,” Mayor John Ditslear said.

Admission is $12 and allows for unlimited skating all day. Guests may bring their own skates if they prefer, but renting skates is included in the admission fee.

“We’ve listened to the community and now through January 8, those guests that bring their own ice skates will receive a discounted admission price of $10,” said Parks Director Brandon Bennett.

Admission rates of $10 also are available for groups of 10 or more and to those patrons that participate on special themed skate nights like Public Safety Night on Friday, December 29. Starting at 6 p.m., patrons are encouraged to dress up as public safety personnel including police officers, firefighters, etc. Noblesville police officers and firefighters will be onsite that evening with giveaways and vehicle tours.

Tickets may be purchased online at www.federalhillcommons.com/iceplaza to bypass the ticket line at the ice rink; however, the discounted $10 tickets will only be available at the rink. For additional information, visit www.federalhillcommons.com.
