Reservations can already be booked for the as-yet-to-open Holland Ice Park. This new facility comblines a "skating ribbon," a looped trail, with an open rink for curling. All the ice is refrigerated, so there will be skating throughout the winter, no matter what the outdoor temperature.
The huge facility includes outdoor and sheltered seating, fire pits, restrooms, concessions, and skate rental. Other amenities such as restaurants are nearby. In summer, the area can be used for alternative recreation events. The ice will be open from November 14 through March 15 (somewhat weather dependent in the spring).
The project has been a longtime dream. Major donors include Frank Kraai and the Jim Jurries family.
Reservations can not be booked at the facility, but must be made on line. $10 will get you a 90-minute skate session on the loop and skates. You may use your own skates, but the reservation is still required. The skating loop will be open Tuesday- Sunday, and sessions will begin and end at set times. For example, from 4:00 to 5:30 pm.
To reserve the curling sheet costs more, but up to eight people are included in the reservation.
The Ice Park is located at the edge of Window on the Waterfront Park at the corner of 6th Street and Central Avenue, Holland, MI.
