Riverfront Rink at Sawyer Point

When the skating rink was built for the 1988 Bicentennial, it was the largest waterfront skating surface in North America. This rink now hosts free wellness programs like skating lessons, DJed sessions for families, summer camp, workshops and group fitness, and adult skates. Throughout the year you’ll find skaters enjoying the park setting and taking in the riverfront breeze.
