Not only is the park absolutely gorgeous when it’s decked out for the holiday season and dusted with snow, but it’s also home to the a unique ice skating ribbon that allows you to show off your skating skills. This season, for some epic ice skating in Washington that will make you feel like you’re in a Hallmark Christmas movie, check out the Numerica Skate Ribbon!

In any other season, this is a place for roller skating and scootering - but in the winter, it's for ice staking only.
The Numerica ice ribbon at Riverfront Park consists of a 16-foot wide and 650-foot long loop pathway, with a 3,500 square foot attached pond rink.

Along the ribbon path, you'll also experience slight inclines and declines, which is all part of the fun. It's the perfect opportunity to really practice some balance in anticipation of snowy weather and ski season!
