Wilmette's Centennial Ice Rinks
Centennial Ice Rinks, a main rink and a studio rink, share the Wilmette Park District's Centennial Recreation Complex with the Wilmette Tennis Club and the Centennial Family Aquatic Center, and they host classes, special events, private lessons and public skating.
In 2026 the Wilmette Park Board unanimously approved a $1.3 million contract with ProTemp Mechanical of Westchester to install a new cooling tower for the rinks. The district first wanted to put the tower on the roof again but found that was not possible, so the project includes an acoustical wall to meet the village's noise ordinance.
The rinks are home to Wilmette Jr. Trevians hockey. Their TGIF Skate began around 2008 or 2009 and became a popular tradition with DJs and glow giveaways; it made a comeback in January 2026 with a 1970s disco night for about 80 skaters, and the district plans to hold it every two months or so.
