Wakefield Park — Attraction in Maplewood

It's truly a great place to take the family for some...

The ice rink was well maintained. They had a warming house. The rink had hockey goals so the kiddos could practice. They had an skating area outside of the rink as well, which people were using. My kiddos aren't the biggest, but when the bigger teenagers came, everyone was very attentive, and respectful and made sure to be aware of everyone on the ice. The boys can't wait to go back and skate with friends the...
