It was an…read moreawesome time that allowed absolutely everyone with any disability to enjoy the joy of skating or just being on the rink having fun. I then returned another time with my friend with our Alinker walk assists. Nick the manager welcomed us to use them on the ice with these "grippers" that give you a bit of traction so we can glide our way around the rink. We had a blast! A huge thank you to Nick for allowing us to enjoy the ice like everyone else! WE WILL BE BACK!

It is $5 per person for the free skate, and if you need to rent skates it is an additional $5, so for two people $20 isn't too shabby for a nice couple hours of skating. Other people there during the free skate are usually pretty friendly, and people that know how to skate typically stay away from the boards where the first timers and beginners usually hang out. Nice friendly atmosphere, cheap, and fun. Can't really go wrong.

I asked one of the cashiers when purchasing an Icee and she confirmed there was one and pointed to the area. At that time, I recalled seeing a group on the floor but I thought it was from them falling while skating. I've must've caught the very end of it. She stated the police were called and they left before their arrival. The next thing was while waiting to go back on the floor and watching the experienced skaters skate, a female very upset began swearing at another unknown group saying "she got me f**ked up". Another patron also watching stated "Friday night". Yes, it was a Friday night! With that said I would definitely return but during the morning and/or afternoon sessions.

My favorite place to skate around the Boston area. The Jack Kirrane ice rink is in a lovely setting…read moreas it's not only outdoors, but at the top of a hill surrounded by trees and then the rest of the Larz Anderson Park. It's a great visual experience on top of having nice ice. A plus is that aside the rink is a flat patch of rectangular ice for beginners to practice on. One thing I don't like about skating at the Reilly Rink in Cleveland Circle is that beginners flop all over the ice. You can sit at the side of Reilly and time it on your watch and not go more than five seconds without seeing someone fall on the ice and possibly cause a pile-up. Kirrane has a nice solution for it. Reilly is free and Kirrane does charge $8 for Brookline residents (as of early 2026, fees may change with inflation!!!) and $10 for non-residents. They also rent nice quality skates, both figure and hockey style, if you don't have your own. The absolute best is to come in December to early January for the afternoon public skate and watch the sun set and the sky change colors off to the west before they shut down at 4:30pm. If you're lucky there will also be some snow in the surrounding trees adding to the experience. The only negative experience I has was that the staff didn't confront some pain in the butt kids. Some kids around ages 10-12 went on the beginner ice and were skating really fast and then diving and sliding on the ice as far as they could and knocking into beginner skaters, including young children. Neither their parents nor the staff said a word to them. I was close to going hockey player and roughing some of them up to teach them a lesson. They really should crack down on this before someone really gets hurt.

This was not a one-time experience, but part of a recurring pattern I have encountered at New…read moreEngland Sports Center. During my most recent visit for figure skating, multiple front parking spaces were blocked by buses. One bus alone occupied approximately eight parking spots while the driver remained inside with the engine running. This significantly reduced access for paying skaters. When I reported this to the front office, the response was dismissive and unhelpful. I was explicitly told by staff that I "needed to park on the overhang on the hill," despite arriving with skating equipment and multiple bags. No attempt was made to assist, redirect the buses, or offer a reasonable alternative. The manner in which this was communicated was discourteous and left me feeling disregarded as a customer. Unfortunately, similar issues have occurred in the past. On a previous visit, the women's restroom was flooded, and the only accessible stall had ice-cold water. The facility frequently has an unpleasant odor, and overall cleanliness and maintenance appear to be ongoing concerns. Last year in the winter, I encountered a fall stepping out of my car in the parking lot because no maintenance was done to remove ice. Also, the ice is absolutely miserable and resurfacing not done on time, so we often don't get to skate the full 50 minutes that we pay 30 dollars for. As a figure skater - and especially being a woman that gets treated condescendingly and with absolutely zero respect, I have repeatedly felt unwelcome at this facility. Combined with poor parking management, inadequate maintenance, and consistently unprofessional interactions with staff, this creates an environment that does not meet the expectations of a major sports complex. I would expect far better organization, accessibility, and customer service. Until these issues are meaningfully addressed, I cannot recommend this facility.
