Ice Skating

The Elk Grove Park District makes its own ice skating rinks for usage during the winter months utilizing a method that maximizes skating availability. The three selected park sites have a rink liner set up, and are consequently filled with water. As temperatures drop to below freezing, for a sufficient duration, the formed rinks freeze and become available for skating. It is possible, however, that rinks may appear ready before they actually are and, if used prematurely, could damage the skating surface for everyone. It is for this reason we ask residents to call the Ice Line at (847) 690-1179 and check for availability. The lights at night are set on timers and operate during skating hours only. All ice skating areas are available during the season for open skate, with no attendant on duty.

For more information, call the Ice Line at (847) 690-1179.

A reciprocal agreement with the Rolling Meadows Park District will allow Elk Grove residents to register for ice skating lessons, pay daily admissions, and purchase a seasonal skating pass to the Rolling Meadows ice skating facilities at a resident rate. Likewise, Rolling Meadows residents may use the Pavilion Aquatics Center at a resident rate.

Sledding

Sled hills are available during the winter months after significant snowfall. Sledders use the hill at their own risk. No attendants on duty. Users assume full responsibility for determining if conditions are safe for sledding. Parents and /or guardians are responsible for children, no supervision provided. No bikes or motorized vahicles are allowed on the hill at any time. Sledding is permitted only on designated sides of the hill.
