Parking
The KB Willett Arena/Goerke Park is a very busy place. Parking at the Willett Arena and Goerke Park is limited. You can park on both the east and west side of the arena or along neighborhood streets as allowed. Plan to arrive early to park and have enough time to get your skates on and be ready to take the ice at your designated class time. We recommend arriving at least 15 minutes early to the arena. You can enter through the west or east entrances of the Willett.
Look for the white board by the east entrance off Minnesota Avenue. This will tell you where your class is located on the ice and possibly other important information we want to share with you.
Skates
Rental skates are free to use during lessons. We have a good amount of sizes, but our inventory is not unlimited. Come early to get the size you need. Have your own skates? We offer skate sharpening at $7 pair. Drop off your skates and pick up before your next lesson. Sharp skates = better traction on the ice.
PLEASE DO NOT allow skate blades on the metal bleachers or concrete. This damages both the skate blades (and the bleachers). Keep blades on rubber flooring or the ice.
Questions
A great time to speak with an instructor is before or after class. Questions can also be emailed to me anytime.
Absences
We understand everyone cannot make it to every class. Feel free to let us know ahead of time, but if you don’t it’s ok.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you,
Anne
