Description: This modern facility in North County Inland has public skating, as well as individual and group lessons for ice hockey, adult and youth hockey leagues for men and women, camps, and hockey clinics. Join a pickup hockey game most days of the week, or form your own team. Figure-skating and hockey lessons are available. Private activities that can be scheduled include broomball (easygoing “hockey” where kids in tennis shoes hit a soft ball) and “snow days,” where kids play on the ice and in piles of snow and later warm up with cocoa and cookies. There’s a pro shop and a pizza parlor on-site, as well as a lap pool, gym, steam room, and sauna. Kids pay $9.00 with skate rental and $6.50 without; adult admission is $10.00 including skates, $8.00 without. There are morning and afternoon sessions on weekdays, afternoon sessions and evenings on Friday and Saturday.
