Ice season opens at The Pavilion
The ice sheet is ready for the 2026-27 season at The Pavilion, with public activities and programs beginning on Oct. 22.
The ice season is expected to run through early April, weather permitting. The Pavilion will be open from pre-dawn to late night, seven days a week, including public open skate opportunities and the return of adult and youth hockey leagues and curling. A new amenity this year will be reservable shooting lanes adjacent to the ice rink. The lanes will be available for 30-minute reservations for a fee beginning Nov. 1.
The Pavilion team worked hard behind the scenes and during the overnight hours into the mornings for the past week to build and prepare the ice sheet for activities. Weekly schedules are on the website. All public skate sessions are drop-in with rental skates available and no reservation needed. Skaters are encouraged to bring their helmet or borrow one at The Pavilion.
The fee for an Adult (19-64) is $10.00; an Older Adult is (65-79) is $9.00; and Youth (3-18) and Honored Citizen (80+) fee is $8.00. Children under 3 are free with paying adult. Skate rental is an additional $4.00.
BPRD offers a Fitness, Swim & Skate Pass that includes access to Pavilion public ice skating sessions at no additional fee. The pass offers roller and ice skating as well as access to drop-in fitness classes, swim sessions, hot tub/spa features, fitness centers, indoor track and social activities at Juniper Swim & Fitness Center and Larkspur Community Center. Learn more on the Fees and Passes webpage.
The Pavilion offers skate sharpening for $10 and new skate sharpening is $15. Drop-offs are available 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., daily. Early season turnaround can be a little longer due to high volume of skates.
Youth and adult hockey programs, curling and skate lessons begin this week along with hockey clinics and specialized ice times for hockey and curling. Many programs from now through December are full with limited availability in some programs. See registration information on the website.
A second session of ice skating and sports programs, offered from January to early June, will open for registration on Dec. 8.
