Ice, ice baby at downtown ice skating rink for Thanksgiving

November 27, 2013

After weeks of hard work, a few test runs on the Zamboni and stringing the lights, the Southwest Rink at Skyline Park is ready to welcome you to its fourth season.

Historically, the Southwest Rink has opened the day following the Thanksgiving holiday.  But to bring some extra cheer to families visiting the downtown Denver area on the holiday, the rink will be open to the public starting today, and will be open on Thanksgiving Day from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

In the first three years, the Southwest Rink at Skyline Park attracted almost 120,000 skaters. Last year, the Rink saw eight marriage proposals, 32 broomball teams, 16 performances of live music, and more than 7,100 fun giveaways for different events.

The rink is made possible by a public-private partnership among the Downtown Denver Partnership, the City of Denver Parks and Recreation Department and Southwest Airlines.
