The hill is perfect in the warmer months to have a picnic or toss a frisbee or football with some friends. In the winter, it's the best sledding hill. Truly Larzies has it all, and it's amazing year round.

*** 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.

The Kelly rink is a WONDERFUL place and a treasured free resource for all people in our community…read more It's a place where (in particular) young people of color from the neighborhood can get exercise and play. One of my favorite things to see there is young children learning to skate by pushing milk carts around for balance. Every time I skate at the Kelly rink people are friendly, fun and full of life. The Mo-town and bubble gum soul music pumped through speakers is a bonus. The rental skates are pretty uncomfortable - but when have you ever rented comfortable ice skates? For comfort, as always, you have to invest in a pair of your own. And I'd like to make a correction to some earlier postings: first of all, there are no "horrid" neighborhoods in Jamaica Plain. The poor and blue collar half of JP that hasn't been driven out by gentrification (i.e. the part where I live) is in many ways the heartbeat of the community and deserves to be cherished by all - visitors and newcomers especially. For those who only feel comfortable on tree lined streets with three car garages I would be glad to recommend several wealthy towns in metro-west for you to visit. A "sh#*-show of humanity"? You're talking about a free community ice skating rink, full of children in a poorer part of town. Show the same respect you would expect at your hometown "Galleria" rink. Happy skating!

Ice skating is part of my DNA, so the presence of an outdoor rink in my neighborhood makes me…read moresmile. There are a lot of things I appreciate about the Kelly Rink: it's free (or a mere $2 to rent), it has a warming house, the ice is fairly well-groomed, it's usually populated by school kids until its early evening closing, it's really easy to find (just along the Orange Line behind the Stony Brook T), and that I can hear the jammin' 94.5 FM hip hop piping from the speakers both on the ice and floating off into the winter wind on my walk home. The rental skates used to be worn leather but they have since switched to plastic mold skates with ski boot bindings, so I'd recommend bringing your own pair. There are still a few weeks left in winter. If you're in JP, stop by for a spin.

The music selection should appeal to all ages, running the gamut from disco 70s to more contemporary dance selections. Enjoy watching the talented skaters while you hone your skill and improve with every lap around the vintage wooden skate floor.
