The City of Sturgeon Bay is hoping to soon open the ice rink located at Memorial Field and across the street from Sunrise School for use. The city had hoped to flood the rink before the holiday, however it was not possible to do so with the fluctuating temperatures getting in the mid to high 30’s. The snow forecasted for tomorrow will also prohibit the city from flooding the rink as the layering of the ice is impacted by any snowfall that would come down on top of one of the ice layers. The warming house will have designated hours of operation which can be found on the City of Sturgeon Bay Facebook page, and will have skates available for use. When the warming house is not open, people are encouraged to bring their own skates as long as there is no signage posted advising people to stay off the ice.  

Director of Municipal Services at the City of Sturgeon Bay Mike Barker asks ice rink users to abide by the messages posted advising people to stay off of the ice to avoid having to close and reconstruct the rink before it is usable again.
