Kicking off New Wellness Programs on a Freshly Polished Skating Surface
Lace up your skates and get your roll on because Skate Downtown Cincy is back outside every weekend, skating on a freshly resurfaced rink floor that improves safety, elevates the skating experience, and enhances the beauty of the space.
“What we’ve done this year has been transformational,” said Morgan Rigaud, leader of Skate Downtown Cincy. “Our team has shown up consistently for this space, each year improving it through volunteer events and working with parks to expand public hours and offerings.” You can feel the difference beneath your wheels.
For the first time since the rink initially shuttered in the early 2000s, the Skating Rink at Sawyer Point will be open every weekend on May 31-Oct 18, kicking off its Sawyer Point summer outdoor skating programs with the electrifying Stereo '25 DJ Festival.
