Hillside Park

Ice Skating Status - Saturday, January 16 - CLOSED- High temps and rain have forced us to close the lake for ice skating. Please stay off until colder temperatures allow us to reopen.

Ice Rink Status - January 12 OPEN. Thanks to the cold temps,the lake remains open for skating. However high temperatures later this week may require us to close in order to maintain the ice surface. Longer term, temps look very cold so we should be good for skating provided that we can keep folks off the ice when it gets too warm this week.

SKATING STATUS - OPEN - A great day of skating on Saturday with well over 100 skaters throughout the day. We resurfaced this evening so the ice will be in excellent shape again tomorrow. Skates will be available from 10 am to 4 pm on Sunday.

Busy night of lacrosse at the park this evening

It is a beautiful day for skating! FREE skating FREE skates to borrow on the ice FREE sticks and pucks to play some hockey ... BIG thanks to Ken Lee and Chris Kane for all there efforts to make skating possible. If anyone has old EQUIPMENT to DONATE, we are always looking.

The Cub Scouts of Pack 160 and Boy Scouts of Troop 160 have been meeting outdoors at Hillside Park this fall due to the pandemic. The Scouts came together for a day of service today to give back to the park that has been their home this fall.

SKATING STATUS - OPEN - SATURDAY, JANUARY 9 - It will be a great few days of skating with beautiful ice on the center of the ice. MASK USE IS REQUIRED SINCE WE EXPECT A LARGE CROWD. Plenty of skates of all sizes are available for those with none.

ICE SKATING UPDATE - Friday, January 8 - OPENING SATURDAY. We checked the ice this morning and we have got five inches which means that we can open. (Note: as always the ice is thinner next to the Inlet stream and should be avoided). We will be shoveling and resurfacing the ice today and should have plenty of good ice for skating Saturday. Make sure to bring your mask or face covering since one or the other will be required at all times while at the lake skating and around the fire.

Check out the senior programs at the Hillside Park Community Center! It is FREE to participate and lunch is provided as well!! [for ages 65+]

Pick-up softball tonight. 9p to 10:30/11p to not interfere with family plans. An easy-going and relaxed meetup to throw and hit some ball while the weather is still nice. If we get enough people, there will most likely be another pick-up game next week. IF NOT, this might be the LAST CHANCE!!... So let us know if you will be making it out and hope to see you there. COVID Plan: Hopefully, we all know the drill by now. No kissing and chest-bumping high-fives. It is expected folks will keep social distancing practices in place.
