1 / 3South Mountain Ice Arena
📍 West Orange, NY
Essex County Codey Arena has two indoor ice rinks, public skating sessions on Fridays and weekends, learn-to-skate classes for all levels, hockey programs, and birthday party packages. Free parking is available on site.
Clean, friendly atmosphere, professional employees, very efficiently run! Great skating for families seniors, young adults children etc.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families with school-age children who want a proper ice skating outing with professional instruction options. The dual-rink setup means there's usually ice time available. Younger children who haven't skated before will benefit from the learn-to-skate program rather than being thrown into public sessions.

“Huge. Two rinks. The main rink is much better. Food place was closed when I visited.”

“This is a good ice skate rink, it gets crowded and sometimes the ice is not in great condition. The public sessions are 1.5 hrs. The free parking is not well signaled (I ended up parked in the paid section twice).”
Reviews from Google
Overview
The facility runs two ice rinks — the main rink is larger and in better condition; Rink 2 was recently renovated. Public sessions run 1.5 hours each. Learn-to-skate programs cover beginner through advanced levels. Hockey programs run year-round. Skate rentals are available. Free parking exists on site and is poorly marked — paid sections are easy to accidentally use. Concessions may not always be open.
