In a competition, there are three different parts for college figure skaters. Of course, there are those of us who look like Bambi on the ice. That does not mean we have to miss out on the fun of ice skating during the cold months in Boston. The Metropolitan District Commission opens about 20 rinks in the area for public skating. The closest place is Frog Pond, located in the Public Garden on Boylston Street.
Skaters get a full day s worth of ice skating and the enjoyment of seeing friends fall down.
For more information about local skating rinks, call the MDC at 727-9547. NU s Figure Skating Club skates almost every weekday from 11 a.m. to noon in Matthews Arena. For more information, call 373-2931. I come out on the ice and have fun.
