### Rink rules

Staff monitor the ice and require 8 inches to open it. A green flag at the Prince Pond flag pole means the ice is safe at cleared spots only and a red flag means the rink is closed. Ice maintenance follows snow plowing for the day.

## Notices

- The Downers Grove Park District's winter recreation page says it will maintain unsupervised ice skating at Prince Pond, 8:30 am to 10 pm daily from approximately mid-December through February (the page's 2025 winter wording; 2026/27 not confirmed). It takes several days of single-digit and low-teen temperatures for the ice to form. (source: https://www.dgparks.org/winter-recreation)
