General Information 

Manhattan Square Park opened December 1, 2009 for the winter season!!!   

Located in the center of downtown adjacent to the Strong Museum, Manhattan Square Park is a popular gathering place. After renovations were completed in 2008, the year-round park has been the busy home to a wide range of visitors from families from throughout the region to downtown workers on their lunch breaks.

Amenities

Winter: The renovated ice skating rink boasts a kidney-shaped surface that is 30% larger than the original rink. Patrons can enjoy an expanded warming shelter that features a heated floor and fireplace, new rental skates, and a new sound and lighting system.

Summer: In the warmer months, the ice rink doubles as a reflecting pool equipped with three fountains. The colorful playground provides a water feature to cool children off from the heat.
Benches and picnic tables around the rink serve as picnic spots during the summer.
