FEBRUARY 1 UPDATE : Due to the warm temperatures, the rink is closed until further notice.

The Winthrop Ice & Sports Rink is a newly constructed outdoor facility which has rapidly become Winthrop's social hub for recreation and family fun.  In the winter months it is used for ice-related sports such as skating, hockey, and broomball. During the summer, it is used for soccer camps, outdoor movies and concerts. This rink was created by the community for the community!  Enjoy.
