*** 2019-2020 ***…read more The Reilly Memorial Rink at Cleveland Circle is a short walk from both the final stop on the C Line, and the Reservoir Station on the D Line. During my first visit this season, I noticed that the ladies room had been moved to the corner, and enlarged with a separate changing room space that isn't padded to protect any ice skates on your feet. I also noticed that they didn't zamboni the ice that public skate time. Public skating begins 11/29/19, ends 3/1/20 Public skating hours Saturday & Sunday: 2pm - 3:50pm Tuesday, Thursday & Friday: 12pm - 1:50pm Wednesday: public stick time 12pm - 1:50pm

The only pro of this establishment is that there is free-of-charge public skating. The rentals are…read morealso decently cheap, $7 for figure skates & $8 for hockey skates I believe. Aside from that, there really isn't anything special. The second I got onto the ice, I was bombarded by about 25 little kids who consistently kept falling right in front of my skates. Keep in mind, this wasn't as hazardous as it could've been because I was only able to go about 2 mph on my skates as each square-foot was covered by an ice skater. I felt like I was playing dodgeball. By no means was this the fault of the kids, because everyone learns to skate at some point and it was actually quite cute seeing them learn. However, the public skating hours are very limited (2 hours per weekend day) + (the fact that it's free). Everybody is gonna sprint there! This isn't ideal, practice, or physically safe. There was absolutely no room to skate freely. Also, the rental hockey skates I got were very weird, the blade was not centered correctly and it seemed like it needed some sharpening.

This Brookline school has an awesome playground that kids can use even if they don't go to the…read moreschool here. It has a great clean sandbox and a wide variety of play equipment. Best of all it has a large softball field, a basketball court, and tennis courts. Lots of enclosed spaces that you can let your toddler run around. It is right on Washington Street on the 65 busline. There seems to always be a group of parents with toddlers here which makes it extra fun. And, if the kids get hungry you can take them to Nicholas for pizza afterwards.

Went here for their public skate on Sunday and I had a nice time. Entry was $5 and skate rental…read morewas $4. The place got packed with kids and it was a bit difficult to maneuver around them all and stay out of the way of everyone moving really fast. They played top 40 music during the short 2-3:30pm timeframe. It was fun but the difficult hours of public skating probably causes the populous atmosphere on the ice which makes it more difficult to skate around. I'd go again because it is close and cheap.

We used to come here often when we lived nearby so it was nice to revisit and see the playground again. Highly recommend if you live nearby and you have young energetic kids!

We have been here twice in the last week (during pandemic times)…read more Pros: - Separate Big Kid and Toddler Play Areas/Structures - Easy parking - 2 tennis courts, 1 basketball court, play area, baseball diamond, and big grass area Cons: - Often unsupervised children running amuck, while their Canada Goose-wearing entitled Moms are sitting on a bench gossiping about their lives and not paying attention at all to what their children are doing - Big Kids are often running rampant (especially true during the weekend) in the Little Kids/Toddler Play Areas If you have very little ones (toddlers, like I do), I'd recommend going during the week and not the weekend. The Big Kids who are unruly, entitled, and rude as hell will push the little ones around or rush and run around so quickly that they knock over the toddlers like bowling pins. Their parents will see and witness this going down and after each incident, will announce - "Well, it's time to go home." No apologies will ever be said or given, which honestly just says so much more about the parents than their kids. Kids are gonna be kids, but they're often reflective of their parents. ANYWAY - the play structure itself is decent. Go on a weekday, not weekend. Stay watchful of entitled Newtonian Moms.

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!!!
