Glide across the ice just 0.3 miles from your NEMA doorstep! A special Winter Park is coming to San Francisco’s Civic Center this holiday season, including a brand-new ice-skating rink and other curated seasonal events. Nestled in the historic Civic Center Plaza, The Winter Park is San Francisco’s first holiday ice rink and track. In addition to the ice rink, the 400-foot skating track will weave ice skating fun through a lighted tree forest.
The Winter Park at Civic Center will make its debut Friday, November 30, 2018 with an opening event to celebrate its inaugural season of skating and holiday festivities in the heart of San Francisco from 11 a.m.–12 p.m. featuring entertainment on the ice, guest appearances from local dignitaries and notables, a DJ, family-friendly activities, and more.
The Winter Park will be open daily from 12–10 p.m. through Sunday, January 6, 2019. Ticket prices for regular admission are $20 and $15 for children eight years old and under, with figure skate or hockey skate rental included in the cost of admission. Tickets can be purchased online in advance at winterparkicerinksf.com. Tickets will also be available at the ice rink ticket window (355 McAllister St. in San Francisco). Group rates and corporate and private holiday parties are also available on The Winter Park at Civic Center website.
Brought to you by Willy Bietak Productions, the same company behind the annual holiday ice rink in Union Square, with the help of sponsors such as Xfinity, Eventbrite, NBC Bay Area and more, this brand-new holiday experience will bring the community together during the most wonderful time of the year.
