Cleland Ice/In-Line Skating Rink/Park @ Fort Bragg — Attraction in Fort Liberty

The Cleland Ice Rink on Fort Bragg is truly one of the crown jewels of the installation. There’s nothing else like it on any other base—it’s a rare gem that offers a unique, year-round skating experience for service members, families, and the community. Whether you’re into hockey, figure skating, or just casual open skate nights, the facility is well-maintained, the staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is always welcoming. It’s more than just a rink—it’s a hub for fun, connection, and even stress relief.

This is hands-down one of the best things Fort Bragg has to offer. It will absolutely be missed during any PCS. No other duty station comes close to having something like this, and it’s one of those special places that makes Bragg...

This rink is great. The ice is great quality. The facility is clean and easily accessible. Close to Womack. They have skate sharpening available for 10 dollars. Their public skating sessions are very affordable. And if you go on weekdays it’s usually quiet. They have locker rooms to change with showers. Skate rentals available. A lot of Parking available. And they’re open all year round!! They also have a roller rink outside in the back and a skate park. The staff is super. I’m amazed to have such a quality ice rink and skating programs in this area. Also, it is open to public use once you get a visitors pass to come...
