WHEATON, Md. – Montgomery Parks will temporarily close Wheaton Ice Arena from mid-April 2025 to early October 2025 to install a new refrigeration system. There will be no public skating sessions, camps, programs, or rentals during the renovations. Cabin John Ice Rink will add more skating sessions and programs to help accommodate the loss due to the Wheaton Ice Arena closure.
“It is time for us to update the facility’s refrigeration system so that it can continue operations for many years to come,” said Christy Turnbull, Montgomery Parks Enterprise Division Chief. “We plan on accommodating staff, instructors, and customers at the Cabin John Ice Rink while the Wheaton Ice Arena is being renovated. We recognize the impact of this closure on our patrons and apologize for any inconvenience.”
Montgomery Parks also operates Cabin John Ice Rink which features three rinks, a dance studio, four party rooms, a Pro Shop, and a concession stand.
