Ice Skating and Warming House

Prior Lake Parks and Recreation maintains outdoor hockey and pleasure rinks for the public to enjoy.

Lakefront Park remains the premier location for winter activity with a beautiful warming house, two boarded hockey rinks, one pleasure skating rink and a sliding hill (with lights!).

The warming house (5000 Kop Parkway), sledding hill and ice rinks are open at Lakefront Park whenever weather allows. Check our warming house hotline at (952) 447-9825 for most current updates. The warming house is closed if the air temperature is -5 degrees below zero and/or the wind chill is -25 below zero.

The sledding hill is also open, dependent upon weather – so watch for open or closed signs.

Information and updates are also available in the Prior Lake American, by calling the Recreation Department at (952) 447-9820.

Please watch the Prior Lake American and This Week Prior Lake for specific dates and times. Concessions will be available during regular warming house operating hours all season long.
