Be sure to check out our HOLIDAY Schedule, for special programming and extended hours. We hope you can experience one of the most magical places in Ashland… that little outdoor rink in beautiful Lithia Park, where the air is fresh, the white lights are twinkling and the music blends with the sounds of nature and blades on ice… Let’s skate!”
