Watts Center is now open for the 2011-2012 Ice Season!

Watts Center has two lighted outdoor ice rinks and is located on more than three acres of land at Watts Park, which includes three tennis courts, a disc golf course, and soccer fields. In the winter months, the sledding hill at Watts Park has also been a longtime favorite of Glencoe residents of all ages.

Glencoe Park District’s outdoor refrigerated skating facility, operates (weather permitting) the day after Thanksgiving through the first Sunday in March. This unique facility is the home of figure skating lessons, ice hockey, and recreational skating. Amenities include a regulation hockey rink, a studio rink, a mini-pro shop, a renovated concession stand, a recreation room and a program room. The recreation room and program rooms are available year round for private party rentals. Ice rentals are available from November 25, 2011 - March 5, 2012 (Bookings begin October 3, 2011).
