St. Mark’s is offering Free Skate sessions again over February break, with some caveats.
Skaters and hockey players, take note. St. Mark’s School is opening the doors of its skating rink again this week for the public school break.
(Note: The private school isn’t on break that Tuesday – Friday. I’m warned that means parking will be limited.)
I had noted that the opportunity is dependent on the weather. When it’s unseasonably warm, the school has had to cancel. But I just checked in with the school this morning. The slightly warmer weather forecasted this week isn’t expected to cause any problems.
Admission is free, but there are no rentals. So, BYOS (bring your own skates).

St Mark’s Gardener rink is inside the Michel Faculty Athletic Center. It can be accessed off School Street (map).
Updated (217/20 9:50 am): I checked in with the school to confirm that this week’s forecast isn’t the kind of “unseasonably warm” weather that would force a cancellation.
