Birthday Parties Ice skating at Winterhurst has been an integral part of Lakewood since 1931.
Many persons possess fond memories of winter nights spent at the old outdoor rink.
Originally built by the City Ice and Fuel Company, Winterhurst was the largest outdoor artificial ice rink in the country. In 1961, the City purchased the rink and continued to operate it outdoors until the current indoor facility was built in 1975. Today, Winterhurst is still one of the largest and most unique year-round ice rinks in the United States. Winterhurst is also the home of numerous State Hockey Championships, a co-ed Broomball Championship and is the largest training center for Special Olympic Speed and Figure Skating in the state of Ohio. Winterhurst is truly a well-rounded recreational and athletic ice skating sports facility.
