How to Improve Your Backyard Ice Rink This Winter

December 28, 2019adminblogNo Comments

Figuring out how to get through winter in Woburn is an art and having a backyard ice rink makes you more popular than Picasso. But there are some easy ways to put your ice rink at the top, making it the ice rink to beat this season. Making simple modifications to your ice rink is possible. Since it’s already the place to be for neighborhood kids, future hockey stars, and Olympic hopefuls, these changes may just put you in the history books too.

Adding LED Lights to Your Ice Rink

Adding LED lights to an ice rink can completely change the experience and gives the rink a polished and professional look that lasts 24/7. Light it up! Consider adding LED lights that surround your ice rink. Not only will it be possible to have a functional night rink, but it will also give you more control over the use of your ice rink. Hockey fans can also add red and blue hockey lights that allow players to stay on the ice and play all night.

Give Spectators Something to Celebrate

Having a backyard ice rink can mean entertaining at least half of the neighborhood for most of the winter. While the die-hards will try to camp out on the ice, having a comfortable seating area with a small fire pit and some lawn furniture will go a long way. Having a thoughtfully pieced together sideline area will allow everyone to come together both on and off the ice.

Maintaining the Ice

Glide across the rink this season. Don’t overlook one of the most important pieces to having a successful ice rink – the ice!  Building a backyard ice rink is not easy and maintaining the quality of the ice is extremely important. Taking the time to resurface and clear your ice is well worth the time.

Resurface the Ice

Use a garden hose to add a new layer of water on the ice, allowing it to freeze and create a smoother surface. Letting the water flow naturally over the ice will give you the best results. 

Clear the Ice

Keeping the ice clear of snow is essential to maintaining smooth ice. Clear any snow or ice away as soon as possible, or it may ruin the entire season.

Keep the Fun Going All Season!

It’s possible to have an ice rink that doubles as a recreational space even when the weather warms up. The options are unlimited; imagine playing lacrosse, basketball, or lawn games in the summer and transitioning to an ice rink in the winter.

Staying motivated and committed to a healthy lifestyle can be a challenge, but with so many options, transforming an ice rink during the summer months is simple and having plans created and executed by professionals will ensure a neighborhood stunner, all year long!
