Parade Ice Garden near Kenwood Park runs three NHL-sized ice rinks — two with bleachers — plus a skate shop, rental equipment, vending machines, and a small café. Free parking on-site. A standard community rink with no frills.

★★★★Featured review by Ali Samikoglu

3 ice rings (2 with bleachers), wending machines, few tables, a small caffee that is only open limited hours, plenty of free parking, skate shop. Facilities are a little dated but no significant issues. Very much like dozens of community ice parks in MN.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for families with kids aged 4 and up who want affordable, no-fuss ice time. The three-rink setup means public sessions are less likely to be displaced by hockey leagues. Spectating parents appreciate the bleacher seating. Not a premium experience — it's a reliable neighborhood rink.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

💡Dress in multiple layers — the rink building is unheated and stays very cold throughout
Check the public skate schedule in advance; league bookings can displace open sessions
🎟️The café operates on reduced hours — bring snacks if visiting for a long session
