    Braden
    Michael V.

    This place is, as most kids would say is a bop.I had a lot of fun but the skates are eh. As a broke teen I realized you get what you paid for, so I humbled myself and realized it's fine because I still had fun! I just wanna shout out Braden, I think that's how you spell his name but I believe he deserves a raise! He taught me how to ice skate and he's just such a nice guy. Here's a photo of us (excuse my smile, I am still trying to figure out how to do that) :)

    Here's an ice level pano look at the rink facing the entrance (snak shak, skate rental and bleachers)
    Keith K.

    Skating is like flying, for those of us without wings or a jet pack. The rink known as Mountain View Ice Arena (not to be confused with the spiritual center next door) is tucked just off of Mill Plain Blvd. At the end of a sizable parking lot, Mt View's blue doors beckon. It's a skating rink folks, no spoilers here. Most rinks need to be multipurpose to keep the lights on, but Mt. View has them all beat. Just check out all five (count'em 5) of their online schedules. They do hockey for most ages, lots of figure, freestyle and speed skating time and of course the public skate sessions. The website is actually quite helpful when trying to figure out what time your session starts or for just catching up on what's going on. I can't review their hockey or figure skating amenities, but as a regular skater at the public sessions I will comment on those. Great staff, if sometimes a bit distracted, always helpful. Past the entrance desk lies a food courtish area with built-in tables and chairs adjacent to the traditional Snak Shak (once again I can't rate this place cuz I haven't eaten there, but they do appear to have all the classics "ice rink hot dog"). Below the bleachers, the skate rental window stays busy dispensing rental skates, both hockey and figure styles. Now let's take a trip to a public skate session, imagine the fabled traffic of Rome, then replace the cobblestone with ice and change the drivers into skaters. As a fan of stunt skating, I enjoy maneuvering the crowd, all of them; the little kids in hockey gear chasing each other in all directions and happily sliding along the ice on their knees, the myriad figure skaters all whirring by at different speeds and levels of ability, those new to skating (the boards brigade), all those professional teachers conducting classes during the public sessions and all the rest of the skaters going in any and all directions at varying speeds. Yet somehow, no one ever gets hurt (knock wood). This rink is grinding it out from early morning till late night most days and because of that schedule, their ice suffers. Sadly, even if you get there for an early morning skate, the ice is still skate scarred deep, the temporary sheen of a fresh Zamboni pass can't hide the truth. After a couple of hours of general skating, the ice will get a little thick, and if it's a weekend, it's like skating thru quicksand. Like I said, it's an ice rink. It's got decent enuf ice, friendly staff and lots of different ice times for just about every skating taste. For the same money you might spend at the movies, you can fly around (and in and out of) the crowd for the same two hours. That's entertainment.

    Dust your ice skates off, because winter is here! Well, maybe you don't own a pair of skates, but…read moreat least you've got a local ice skating rink nearby. What am I talking about? Well, it's not a huge seasonal event like the Holiday Ice Rink Union Square in San Francisco and it's probably only one-fourth the size of The Rink at Rockefeller Center, but it's the Winter Village at Orenco Station Plaza! Yippeee!!!! OK, so first off, I'm new to the area but was told about this event happens every December. I didn't think much of it, until I started seeing them construct the ice rink. Then I knew something special was happening. But before I get into more details about skating and Winter Village, I just wanted to disclose that most of my information is primarily from their website versus what I've seen and experienced. Now onto the details: ~ When is it? Well, Winter Village opened last November 29th and will end January 5th, 2020. You basically get about five weeks of fun! And I'm actually somewhat surprised that no one has written up a review for this by now. ~ Main feature? Well it's the ICE RINK of course! A small one that's only about 115 feet long and 26 feet wide. It is outdoor, but covered by a huge white tent. With all the rain as of recent, it's actually good that the ice is covered and protected. The rink capacity can hold up to 70 skaters during a session. You do have to sign a waiver prior to skating, and sessions are about 90 minutes each. You can find their skating calendar and session pricing here: https://www.hillsboro-oregon.gov/home/showdocument?id=24060 ~ In general, prices with skate rentals are: Adults $13 Children (ages 4-11) $10 Children under 3 FREE! Want a discount? Bring your own skates and get $2 off. Or military and First Responders (and family members) get $1 off. ~ Features I've seen: Kids skating in special strollers. Cool winter decor and colorful lighting everywhere. I've seen the rink reserved, closed during some sessions for private events. So yes, you can rent the entire place all for yourself if you need to plan a private party. A great idea if you plan to have a season ending get together with coworkers. I've definitely seen it busier on weekends versus weekdays, so plan accordingly. ~ What I didn't expect from the village? The Winter Market on Sundays (10-3pm). Yes, a tiny farmers market with about 8 vendors selling things from home-made chocolates, specialty soaps, some flowers, a pie guy, a glass blowing vendor, I think I even saw a booth with veggies, a bakery booth with pastries, and a small band of local musicians playing Christmas songs. I thought it was just cool just seeing the community come together, regardless of how cold conditions have been lately. Well, there you have it! I would've given five-stars, but honestly I was sort of expecting more when you call something a "village". Maybe it hasn't snowed enough yet. Or maybe I was expecting it to be busier everyday around the area, but the good thing is, it's not. It is next to the MAX station, but really no heavy foot traffic. Support your locals folks, take your family out for some cheap skating fun, and happy holidays!

The facility is well set up with great amenities, including large locker rooms, a nice beer garden, and a convenient snack shop.

The vibe here is definitely improving, and I'm really looking forward to the upstairs bar and restaurant that is reportedly coming soon! A cool, reliable spot for everything ice-related.

    I had fun but I would love to see some change at this rink…read more I grew up very spoiled by the ice rink that was in my small town in Wyoming. It was seasonal but it was free to skate there because of local donors. There were always multiple staff who skated around the rink to make sure everyone was safe and guided people around those who had fallen or were creating unsafe situations for all the skaters. The figure skaters only practiced in the middle of the rink that had cones around it to prevent any public members from confusion and entering that space. You were asked to follow the direction of the skating and not go against the flow. There was a mandatory break halfway to clear the ice. This rink is a far cry from that. Skating is honestly a hazard here! I had to check in mid skate to see if I was still in public skate because there were so many figure skaters on the rink doing whatever they wanted. Skating wrong ways, blocking the path, zig zagging between skaters, all the things figure skaters do.I had a few almost run ins myself. I don't understand why public skate can't be a fun time to skate around and around without worrying if you're going to have a head on collision with the figure skater. I felt really frustrated because this wasn't the first time that I've come here and had this happen. Can there be a designated time for the figure skaters to practice? I get it.. share the ice but when it's a literal free for all it's hard to predict where to skate and stay safe. I'm familiar with how to stop safely but for newbies this is really unsafe. I want to take my nephews here but is there a time when it's truly a public skate?

If you're here for the sport, the ice is always fantastic; consistently solid and well-maintained, which is clearly why the Winterhawks use it as their practice facility. However, the rest of the facility definitely shows its age. The stands are nice enough, though they are located on the far side from the entrance, making for a bit of a trek if you're carrying gear. The lobby isn't huge, and the locker rooms are a tight squeeze, especially if you have a full-roster adult hockey team trying to gear up at once. On the positive side, you can tell they are making an effort to modernize. The lobby, locker rooms, and bathrooms have been renovated, which is a huge improvement over how they used to be. The staff is also very friendly and helpful, whether you're there for a tournament or just a public skate. It's a classic, "old school" rink that has its quirks but remains a reliable staple for the local hockey community.

The Zamboni was on the ice when we got there (about 10am), but despite the website saying open skate was 10:15-12:15, the throngs weren't allowed until 10:30. Hopefully they will extend until 12:30. Anyway my daughter is excited to start lessons even though they don't start until after the new year.

She has been skating for about 7 years total. We had heard good things about the program at Lloyd and decided to give it a try even though we live less than 10 minutes from the Sherwood rink. I'm so glad we did! The value you get at Lloyd can't be beat. If you happen to miss a class it's easy to pick up another class as a make up plus you can attend Open skate for free and get a punch card to bring a friend to Open skate a few times each session. Freestyles are also less expensive than other rinks in the areas. If you have done a learn to skate program there are some more advanced classes you can take like Choreo & Moves. The coaching staff is awesome, knowledgeable and patient. They go above and beyond to make students feel welcome, safe and included. (Special shout-out to Lydia!) Lloyd Center is also great for folks just wanting to skate for fun. Much of the day is available as Open skate and there are in and out privileges for the day. That means you can skate, pop off to grab lunch or shop and then skate again. It's a great little outing to do with friends or family.
