Ice Skating Rinks
During the summer months, Deep River Waterpark is the perfect place to escape the heat, but in winter, it is transformed into a place to ice skate! The Ice Plaza is open for ice skating Thursday through Sunday from late November through January, weather permitting. The concessions and Surf Shop are open as well.
In Valparaiso you can skate at Central Park Plaza from mid-November through early March and the City of Crown Point has rinks for ice skating at Bulldog Park. These rinks are open when the ice is frozen solid.
