Fans of the Stuart Park ice rink may have their last chance to get on the ice this weekend.

The skating rink at Stuart Park was scheduled to end since it opened for the season. 琉璃神社 skaters have enjoyed the city鈥檚 free ice rink since, but all good things must come to an end.

Steve Fagan, arenas and stadiums supervisor for the City of 琉璃神社, said that though the rink鈥檚 end is scheduled, it doesn鈥檛 guarantee a closure just yet.

鈥淲e鈥檙e committed to go through the weekend, and we will reevaluate the rink on Monday (March 4),鈥� said Fagan. 鈥淭he forecast is cold, and we鈥檙e going to keep it open (as long as possible), but it all depends on the conditions.鈥�

The as of Tuesday afternoon has the week鈥檚 weather staying below 0 C, but with the sun shining bright, the conditions of the park have began to decline.

鈥淲e鈥檙e starting to see conditions that we see come up at the end of the season on the rink,鈥� said Fagan. 鈥淲e know people enjoy the park, and they want to use as long as they can, and we鈥檒l do our best to accommodate.鈥�

While the rink鈥檚 season could possibly be extended past the weekend, the rentals for skates, helmets, and EZ bars will end March 3.

Fagan said that though the skate rental shop is closing, it doesn鈥檛 mean the rink will close as well, and that the city will make a decision following the weekend.
