ENTERPRISE — With the arrival of winter weather and frigid temperatures, the Wallowa Valley Community Ice Rink is open for the season.

There is no charge to use the ice rink, and normal operating hours are 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily, weather permitting. It is a managed, natural, unrefrigerated outdoor rink, and is kept open as much as possible during those hours, except when it is too warm, rainy or snowy.

The rink is available for anyone to skate during most hours, except for times when specific activities are scheduled.

Advanced adult co-ed hockey pickup games are held for people 15 and older on Monday and Wednesday nights from 7-9 p.m. and Saturdays from 9-11 a.m. Helmets are required.

The ice rink, located at 255-349 SW Depot St. in Enterprise, is also available for private event rental.

Ice skates and hockey gear are available for rental at the rink’s skate shack. Just select your equipment, fill out a form and leave your money in the black box outside the door. The Soroptimists Thrift Shop in the Odd Fellows Hall in downtown Enterprise also sells some used skates and hockey equipment.
