The magic of ice skating will arrive in Wyndham for the first time this winter.
A pop-up ice skating rink will be set up in Wyndham Cultural Centre car park during the school holidays.
The rink will be fully-enclosed and available for use in all weather. It will be open for 10 days from July 4-13, with opening hours from 10:30am to 8:30pm.
Wyndham council said the pop-up ice skating rink was being held in place of this year’s Winter Street Party.
Wyndham mayor Mia Shaw said the pop-up rink would provide fun for all ages.
“We’re excited about a new family-friendly activity to enjoy and to be able to refresh our winter program this year, with a new family-friendly activity to enjoy and new reasons to visit our city centre and support local businesses,” she said.
“There’ll be fun themed skating sessions, DJ tunes and delicious winter food on offer from local businesses.
“Whether you’re a seasoned skater or a beginner, it’s a great chance to embrace the season and create some new memories with family and friends.”
“Winter is traditionally a quiet time for local businesses and the pop-up ice skating rink will draw thousands of people into our city centre, building on the success of multiday events like LIT and encouraging people to stay longer and explore local shops, restaurants, cafes and other businesses.”
Ice skating tickets, which includes skate hire and learn to skate equipment, cost $5 for kids, $10 for adults and $25 for a family of four.
