The Schenectady County Recreational Facility will resume public skating hours starting today. Due to the pandemic, public skating has not been offered at the facility since March of 2020.
Since the late 2000s, the Schenectady County Recreational Facility has served residents and ice skating enthusiasts throughout the Capital Region. The facility is currently open for open figure skating, ice hockey and learn-to-skate programs.
“We know how much kids and families have missed public skating since the facility was shut down due to the pandemic in March of 2020,” said Schenectady County Legislator Cathy Gatta, Chair of the Tourism, Arts & Special Events Committee. “It was important for us to start offering public skating again, especially as the weather starts to get cooler and families look for different activities to do.”
