Pittsfield’s Ice Rink Opens – Here’s The Rules

The City of Pittsfield is pleased to announce that the ice rink at Wahconah Park, located at 105 Wahconah Street is now open. This new outdoor, lighted ice rink will offer a fun and welcoming space for skating, recreation, and community gatherings.

The rink is open to skaters of all ages from dawn to dusk each day but may be closed at times for maintenance of the ice. To ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone, the city has established rules when using the ice rink.
