The Dominic “Mimi” DiPietro Family Seasonal Skating Center, owned and operated by Baltimore City Recreation and Parks, features public ice-skating sessions, ice hockey, broomball, and sled hockey from mid-November until March.  Located at 200 S Linwood Avenue in scenic Patterson Park, the rink hosts many of Baltimore’s youth and amateur hockey teams, as well as seasonal special events. The center is also home to the Baltimore Blizzard women’s hockey.

The NHL regulation-size rink measuring 200-by-85 feet is equipped with a warm-up room, fireplace, concession stand and skate shop, which makes this facility the perfect venue for private parties and group rentals.

 Public Skate Sessions

Public sessions are traditionally two hours. Depending upon the number of skaters, our sessions may include a brief break midway through the session. During this time, staff will ask skaters to clear the ice, while an ice-cut takes place. A skate guard may not always be on duty, especially during our smaller, weekday sessions. As always, skaters participate at their own risk.

A limited quantity of skate helpers are also available for rental on a first-come, first-serve basis. The rental charge for the skate helper covers the duration of the public skate session. There are no refunds or partial refunds if a skate helper is only used for a portion of the session.

Management reserves the right to restrict the use of skate helpers during busy public sessions.
