The Ice Skating Pond is monitored by Township personnel for safe skating conditions. No skating is permitted on the pond until a minimum thickness of four inches is achieved. When the ice is safe for skating, a green flag is raised at the Ice Skating Shelter and signs are posted to announce open skating. Unsafe ice conditions are signified by no flag at the shelter and red signs at the pond edge. The athletic fields and showgrounds facilities at Chubb park are available for group reservation each year.
Most athletic programs serving the Chester area use the park during their seasons.
Groups are required to present an application for reservation of the park and a Certificate of Liability Insurance for the organization. Applications are reviewed for approval by the Park Advisory Committee at their monthly meeting. Groups seeking to reserve facilities at Chubb Park should file applications a minimum of sixty days prior to the event or season start-up. A parking lot was constructed in 1992 to accommodate increased visitors to the area. The lot, located immediately adjacent to Cooper Lane, provides access to the preserve's service road and to a system of trails within the park.
