Located within the Belmont high school compound, I head to this rink on a weekly basis, on Monday…read morenights, for a Belmont-run ice hockey league. While the rink itself is very clean, modern and actually fairly nice compared to other rinks I've been to, my only complaint being the fact that the parking spots are at the street and not adjacent to the rink, which makes for a short but annoying walk, especially when it's raining or carrying heavy hockey gear. That aside, the interior of the place isn't too cold which is nice for spectators who don't want to freeze their butts off and the ice is of pretty good quality, although it does tend to take a while to freeze over once the zamboni runs. That aside, the locker rooms are numerous, I counted four, are kept clean and warm as well. Sometimes too warm but that's not a bad thing, especially in winter. I have yet to go there for a public ice skating session but would go there in a heartbeat as I find it quite nice.

What a perfect time for ice skating!…read more I was driving home from the Fresh Pond Mall yesterday and decided to take the long route home via my old town, Belmont. As I drove past Belmont High and wondered what the mobile home looking things were in the school's parking lot I remembered a very important thing. I can go ice skating for free at the school's rink! So, here's yet another free and fun activity. Pick up a calendar with the times of public and family skating, it is advised that Belmont residents are the only ones who can use the rink. Don't feel like being indoors? NO problem. Right across the street, next to the pool is a little self made rink where some kids were playing ice hockey. I hope you are enjoying the winter sports!!!

The music is good but not too loud, which is a must for my kiddo. They do not have assists but the rail at the top of the boards isn't too high so he was able to hang on. Slow pokes do stay to the edge and learners right in the center. It's an odd shaped small rink which makes it easy to move between rails and center without passing a (frozen) sea of people . Definitely a good place for a nice casual skate. We will be going back.

I check in here every time they play and have seen the rink finally upgrade into providing a nice concession stand like others have done. They serve hot and cold foods now, and overall the *stinky* factor is not bad "Marlborough being the worse." The only thing I see lacking in this rink is the weather control "NATICK being the best so far for temperature and choice seating...you can sit behind the penalty boxes AWESOME!" Unlike the other rinks, their heating is not on par with the rest so a jacket/blanket is def required. I like that they have separate entrances for the teams and they do not have to have the teams walk through the actual lobby to get there (which I have also seen some rinks do "MARLBOROUGH" There is ample parking that is close and a Dunkin's/stores nearby.

Finding it and getting to it was rather easy as it's right off of 93 and it features a large parking lot. However the one thing that's great about it is the quality of the ice and the spectator seating. Both are top notch. However the locker rooms are tiny, especially for a roster of 15+ players. That aside the place is clean and playing there is pretty awesome.

It is $10 for public skating and $7 for skate rentals. Skate rentals are in very good condition, my pair was nearly new. They are also all hockey skates, which I love. They do public skating on Saturdays and I also read they do weekly pickup hockey for adults which is neat. The rink itself is spacious and the ice sheet is in amazing condition, it was like gliding on a frozen pond. Absolutely lovely. I will absolutely be coming back here!

The rink itself is very well laid out and maintained very well. Nick, one of the people running the place is very friendly and was helpful in helping me network with some of the guys playing so I could eventually join them for a pickup game. All four locker rooms are as clean as they could ever be and are heated as well which isn't always the case. But more importantly the ice sheet is fantastic and makes playing hockey there a very enjoyable experience. This rink sets a high standard for other rinks in the Boston area for sure and I doubt that you'd be able to easily find a better one that this. Hockey aside, they have a ton of stuff happening there so check out their site for various hours. They have pickup games, high school games, stick and pucks, public skates and loads more.

Expect to be mowed down by hundreds of bratty children and obnoxious preteens. I was confused that they only rented hockey skates, no figure skates - is this common? - and the ones available to rent aren't in top condition. But, hey, they're $5, I guess you get what you pay for. On the plus side, it's across the street from Razzy's, so you can get a drink after you skate? Or maybe...before you skate?
