Outdoor Skating
The Rockford Park District is pleased to offer the opportunity to go ice skating or play hockey outdoors at the Eclipse Lagoon in Sinnissippi Gardens on the campus of Nicholas Conservatory & Gardens.
When weather permits and conditions are safe, the community is welcome to enjoy open ice skating or open hockey at Eclipse Lagoon daily from 9 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.
â ī¸ The ice needs to be at least 4 to 5 inches thick for the Eclipse Lagoon to open. Rockford Park District staff will check the thickness of the ice daily, and signs alerting residents of the conditions will be posted on site, as well as online on the Nicholas Conservatory Rainout Line extension, Nicholas Conservatory Facebook Page, and the Rockford Park District Twitter feed.
