Open skating for one and all is now available at the new Regional Diagnostic Radiology Arena in the Scheels Athletic Complex in Sartell.
The cost is $3 per skater, with an option for skate rentals.
The first open-skate session was held in mid-July. The next two for July are from 1-2:30 p.m. Tuesday, July 27 and from noon-1:30 p.m. Thursday, July 29.
Open-skate sessions will be extended into August, and the upcoming times and dates will be announced later.
The RDR Arena, next to the Bernick’s Arena, recently opened for play. It is a covered arena that will offer hockey games and skating as well as a venue for many other sports that can be played on its artificial turf.
A time and date for a public grand opening at Scheels Athletic Complex will be announced in the near future.
