Parker Ice Trail at Discovery Park — Local services in Parker

This place is absolutely precious. I was really surprised and didn’t expect it to be as picturesque. I was a bad mom and totally forgot to pack my kids’ cold weather attire but they were so hot from the activity of skating that it didn’t matter. There are plenty of little areas to get warm, staff was helpful, relatively cheap and my family had literally not been ice skating ever and we figured it out. The music they play is great and adds to the fun vibe. There are cute lit trees and just a fun atmosphere. We are from HR and had no idea this gem existed.

My only complaint that I’m not reflecting in the number of stars I gave my review was that there was what appeared to be throw up on one of the benches... I know they wouldn’t have left it there had they known so maybe a little more eyes sweeping through the sitting area to be sure it’s clean and that’s all I can say!

My kids are 6 and 7. They loved it. Parents and adults can use the little walker things too to get used to skating! I did for awhile. Ok...

There are three large outdoor fires and a covered area with heaters to warm up a little. Note that the “fire pits” are not designed to sit around, they’re built too high for that but you can stand... and you need to take off your skates to get to them. But they are a nice option for those watching skaters. As of the writing of this review, they have really good ice skates to rent (new and sharp). They also offer free “trainer” supports for the little kids (first come, first serve). Admission gets you in for the entire day. If you have a group of 10 or more there is a substantial...

I do not like the way the young staff runs the trail. It snowed last night and the rink was not scheduled to open until 1:00. The staff started removing the snow and running the Zamboni at 12:30 and didn’t finish until well after 1:00. Why couldn’t the staff start earlier and actually clear more snow? A lot of it remained on the trail. When I returned the rental skates, I let the staff member know that the laces on only one of the skates was like two feet long. I recommended they cut the laces because it was really inconvenient when putting the skate on my 5yo. The staff member brushed me off and said...
