Oh, there's a skating rink out there in Quincy? Well, Yelp didn't know about it either so I guess…read moreI shouldn't feel bad that I didn't know. Out in the front they have a handful or two of parking spots, but out in the back there's a really nice sized parking lot that I covet for the other (more convenient) skating rinks I frequent. Five long benches were plenty for the decent sized crowd that I found sprawled out on the rink this afternoon. Everyone left their shoes and bags under the benches since there were no shelves or lockers available for our use. But the gal's bathroom with 3 toilets, 2 sinks, and a super strong blow dryer, was really clean and well stocked with toilet paper and soap. I had my own skates, but my friend rented a pair of hockey skates for $5 at the snack bar window, which also had hot chocolate and a small selection of candy for sale.

Pros: * A separate skating area for beginners called "small…read moreice" * Skate helpers are available for beginners. these are a sliding frame that you hold onto while moving on the ice while learning to balance * Indoor stuff includes: seats, limited small storage cubbies for shoes, snack bar, bathrooms, rental counter (skating is outdoors of course) Cons: * There are not enough seats indoors for all of the people who want to sit down during busy times, which is exacerbated by my next point... * Not enough storage for stuff indoors. People bring a lot of junk with them skating (right or wrong), and a lot of it needs to be stored while they are on the ice. They have quite a bit of empty wall space where additional storage could be built. As a result, people put their junk all around the floor and on seats, reducing the available seating. The junk on the floor makes it hard to walk (especially with skates on).

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.

I was not expecting a glorified school recital: next to some emerging amazing skaters, there were a bunch of kids, the parents' team and other terrible performances.

At the end, short, one-min each demos with Alysa and the other big names. It felt we had been cheated. On the bright side, the involuntary comedic result was awesome, and we laughed really hard.
