Second Rink Opened in Early September; Year-Round Skating Programs to Expand in 2013
SOMERVILLE - The Somerville Recreation Department announces the winter 2012-13 public ice skating schedule, which includes increased hours for public skating at two rinks. Located at 570 Somerville Avenue, the Veteran's Memorial Hockey Rink and a second, newly-opened and yet-to-be-named rink include free public skating Monday through Sunday beginning this month.

The new rink, which the City broke ground for in 2011, will formally open with a Grand Opening Ceremony in 2013. Public skating hours for the winter 2012-13 season are as follows:
Main Rink:
- Mondays, Fridays, noon - 2:00pm: Free Public Skating
