‘Ice Skating in Center City’
It’s been an exciting transformation outside of City Hall the last five years!
Just five years ago, Dilworth Plaza was converted into a friendly park, now called Dilworth Park. You’ll find a computer-programmable fountain, a Jose Garces-operated cafe, free wifi, pedestrian-friendly amenities, programmed events throughout the year, and an upgraded rail system.
Not only will you be able to enjoy Dilworth Park in the warmer months, you will be able to enjoy this wonderful park during the winter, which brings us to ice skating. Welcome Winter Wonderland 2020-21 at Dilworth Park! Here you will be able to enjoy ice skating, the Rothman Orthopedics Cabin, the Winter Garden, the Holiday Market, Deck the Hall Light Show and much more!
The ice skating rink, which is known as the Rothman Orthopedics Ice Rink, will officially open on November 6 and remain open through February 28, 2021. The Rothman Ice Rink will be open 7 days a week, to include all holidays. For the holiday schedule, Click Here.
There will be a range of programmed seasonal and holiday events at the rink that will offer entertainment and fun for people of all ages. There will be birthday party packages and group sales discounts as well.
Health Safety Protocols
CCD and all of their Dilworth Park business partners have implemented increased health safety procedures throughout the park and visitors will be reminded to adhere to all CDC guidelines. Masks are required at all times. CCD staff are all wearing masks, as well. Anyone who feels sick, or has come in contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19 within the past 14 days, should refrain from entering the park. CCD staff, café and rink staff will be distributing free masks to guests in the park.
