Ice Rink

If you have driven down Lake Drive North during recent winters, you may have noticed the transformation of the beach tennis court into the Candlewood Isle Skating Rink!  The rink was the vision of a few CI residents and it’s back for another season!

The CI Skating Rink operates similarly to many other CI programs, where membership is required to utilize the rink. This membership pays for an expensive liner every year as well as other miscellaneous costs to keep it up and running.

Access to the rink is strictly permitted for members only, meaning no guests due to insurance reasons. This policy is strictly enforced and we appreciate your understanding so that we can continue to provide this benefit to our community for years to come. 

We hope that the rink will keep our community as active and connected during the winter months as we are in the summer. If you have questions, please contact JP Cheneski 203-241-0099 or Mike Imhoff 612-247-8159, or email [email protected].

Hope for cold weather.....#frozenmemories ahead!
