Howard Park:  Located in downtown South Bend, Howard Park celebrated 125 years on August 18, 2024. Howard Park’s 16,000 square foot ice trail and pond is a premier winter destination for the South Bend region.  The ice trail features rolling hills and soft curves that provide skaters with a diverse terrain when making their way around the loop. The ice pond is attached to the ice trail but provides a more traditional skating experience with an isolated skating area that can be used for learning to skate, school field trips, private ice rentals and one-of-a-kind community programming.

Mishawaka Ironworks: Located in the heart of downtown Mishawaka, this 17,500-square foot ice ribbon and plaza offers daily ice skating, birthday party rentals, skating lessons, unique ice activities, and community events. We are committed to providing the most enjoyable outdoor ice-skating experience accompanied by lively music and colorful changing-lights for a memorable ice-skating experience for all ages. The Ironworks Ice Rink is the go-to destination in Mishawaka during the holiday season
