Outdoor Ice Rink Information Benefits of Ice Skating Ice skating is a low impact exercise that provides positive effects on overall health. The outdoor ice complex at Wheeler Park is located on North Street/Rt. 31 in Geneva, next to Stone Creek Miniature Golf Course. It will consist of three sheets of ice, one dedicated for general skating and two for hockey. An additional outdoor ice skating option will be available in the Mill Creek Pool parking lot, weather permitting. A warming shelter is available at Wheeler Park in the Stone Creek Miniature Golf Hut from 4:00 - 7:00 pm Monday-Friday, and 11:00 am - 4:00 pm Saturdays, Sundays and/or school holidays when ice is skateable. Lights are available until 10:00 pm daily. Please note: skating is no longer at Jaycee and Sunset Park. Did you know? Creating the ice is an interesting process. In order for the appropriate amount of ice to be prepared, the temperature has to remain at 20 degrees or below for at least 48 hours. Interested in Ice Skating Classes?
