The Ashland Rotary Centennial Ice Rink, located in Lithia Park at 95 Winburn Way (corner of Winburn and Nutley St), is open daily for the season! More info at ashland.or.us/IceRink. 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!”
