The Worcester Common Oval Ice Rink is changing its weekend hours due to popular demand.

“Skaters have expressed a desire to skate under the bright lights of the Common, so Saturday and Sunday hours are being shifted one hour later to allow for more illuminated fun,” said the city on their website.

The Oval's new hours of operation on Saturdays and Sundays are 1:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.

Friday evening skating will continue to be held from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

Opened for Future Vacation Weeks

The Oval will also be open for daytime skating during school vacation weeks and on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. During the weeks of December 26 and February 20, the Oval will be open from 1:00 p.m. until 6:00 p.m., Monday through Thursday, and 1:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. on Friday, December 30 and Friday, February 24.

Admission for open skate is $5, and free for kids 6 and younger. Skate rentals are $3 with a credit card or $25 cash refundable deposit.
