During the winter, the Canal Park Ice Rink is open seven days a week.  The figure-eight ice path meanders through the Park recalling frozen canals of northern Europe and perhaps the Washington Canal itself, as historical records suggest that ice-skating occurred on the Tiber Creek in winter during the 19th century. Visitors can rest in the pavilion and sip hot chocolate while watching skaters pass by.

Admission to the rink and skate rentals for six are included with the Canal Park Ice Rink group lesson.
