Ice skating at Union Point Park is a new event and it brings a unique element to New Bern’s holiday tradition. The synthetic ice skating rink can accommodate 30-40 skaters at a time.  Parks & Recreation staff will have skates available for rent in children and adult sizes, on a first come, first serve basis. Participants are welcome to bring their own ice skates, but roller skates, in-line skates and skateboards are not permitted (only ice skates!). All participants will be required to complete a liability waiver and adhere to rules for safe skating. Skating will be offered in 45-minute sessions. The fee to skate for a session is $5, which includes skate fitting and rental. Parks & Recreation staff are working on creating an online registration so that friends and families can pre-register in advance.

*Saturday skate hours have a break between 2pm – 4pm
