Groveland Ice Rinks

GROVELAND ICE RINKS STATUS UPDATE

Notices like this are always difficult to share. It feels like we just opened for the season, and your Groveland Ice Rinks Volunteers, more than anyone, want to see the rinks remain open as long as possible.

Unfortunately, beginning today, Thursday, February 12, 2026, the rinks will be closed, and the Groveland Ice Rinks Volunteers will cease all ice maintenance activities. Due to high temperatures, skating on the soft ice in the coming days would cause damage that cannot be repaired without flooding or using the Zamboni. We take our responsibility to be good stewards of our water resources very seriously, and temperatures are simply too high to flood the rinks. Additionally, as the ice softens, it becomes unsafe to operate maintenance equipment.

Warming House operations will also cease. The building will be closed, and skates will no longer be available for check-out.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who contributed to another wonderful, though short, skating season at Groveland. We are incredibly grateful for the tremendous support from this community and for the many thoughtful and kind words you have shared. Your enthusiasm and love for Groveland are what make this place so special.

What happens at Groveland truly is magical and it’s because of all of you.

Your Groveland Ice Rinks Volunteers would like to extend our sincere appreciation to Saint Paul Mayor Kaohly Her for taking time out of her busy schedule to visit Groveland Ice Rinks. During her visit, she generously handed out egg rolls - a special treat. As Mayor Her shared, “Food is how we show love in Hmong culture, and nothing brings me more joy than making egg rolls for you!”

11:15 a.m. Update Saturday | C'mon down and enjoy some great ice at Groveland Ice Rinks today. The warming house will open at 1:00 p.m. It's Hockey Day in Minnesota! Happy Skating!
