★★★★★Featured review by Jackie Velykis

Great place for families

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for families with hockey-interested kids ages 5–13 looking for structured, affordable instruction in South Philadelphia. Public skating draws mixed ages. Check the website the day of your visit to confirm session status — schedules shift as leagues wrap up their seasons.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

💡Verify current public skate and hockey session schedules directly on the Rizzo Rink website before heading out — social media listings are not kept up to date.

⏰Youth hockey registration opens seasonally; contact the rink directly to inquire about the Junior Lions program for younger players.

🎟️Parking is available on-site under the highway overpass.

🚗Bring your own equipment if your child is enrolled in the hockey program — rental options are sparse.

“This local rink has regular open sessions and organized hockey times. The latest information is published on the website, but they don't keep up with their social media so a careful review of the website the day of your visit is advised.”

Overview

Open since 1979 and tucked beneath Interstate-95, Rizzo Rink has built its reputation on youth hockey development. The instructional program focuses on fundamentals — skating, passing, and puck handling — for kids ages 5 to 13, with competitive 10U and 12U league play running through winter. Public skating sessions run alongside the hockey calendar. Reviewers also note the facility offers basketball and soccer space.
