Groveland Ice Rinks

THANK YOU, PLAY IT AGAIN SPORTS!

Your Groveland Ice Rinks Volunteers organization extends our deepest and most heartfelt thanks to our friends at Play It Again Sports on Snelling Avenue in Saint Paul for their incredible generosity and ongoing partnership.

Through a recent and very generous donation of skates, Play It Again Sports has significantly strengthened the skate inventory at Groveland. Providing skates is central to making outdoor winter skating truly accessible to everyone, and this donation directly helps remove barriers for neighbors who may not own skates or be able to afford them. Because of this support, even more skaters can experience the joy, health, and sense of community that comes from being out on the ice.

Owners Alex and Max Selim, who both grew up skating at Groveland, have led Play It Again Sports – Saint Paul with heart and purpose for the past eleven years. Their deep personal connection to the rink and genuine commitment to giving back shine through in their continued support.

We are profoundly grateful to Alex, Max, and the entire Play It Again Sports team for being such thoughtful and generous partners. Together, we are helping ensure that skating remains welcoming, inclusive, and accessible to all who wish to enjoy our neighborhood ice.

Community support like this makes a real difference. We encourage our neighbors to support the local businesses and volunteers who help keep Groveland thriving, and, if you’re able, to find your own ways to give back. Every act of generosity helps keep our rink, and our community, strong.

Thank you, Play It Again Sports, for making such a meaningful difference in our community.

Your Groveland Ice Rinks Volunteers have been informed that due to a St. Paul Parks and Recreation “All Staff Day” on Friday, January 30, 2026, the Recreation Center Rink Attendants will not be scheduled to staff or operate the Groveland Ice Rinks warming house.
The skating area will remain open from sunrise to sunset, but please keep in mind:
• The inner warming house will be closed for the day
• Restrooms will not be accessible
• Skate check-in and check-out will not be available
• Lights will NOT be turned on for evening skating
We understand this may affect your plans, and we truly appreciate your understanding. Regular operations will resume on Saturday, January 31, 2026, and we’d love to welcome you to Frost Fest 2.0 from 2:00 – 4:00 p.m. for some winter fun together!
Thank you for being part of our Groveland community.
