Skip Viglirolo Rink

Located within the Belmont high school compound, I head to this rink on a weekly basis, on Monday nights, for a Belmont-​run ice hockey league.
While the rink itself is very clean, modern and actually fairly nice compared to other rinks I’ve been to, my only complaint being the fact that the parking spots are at the street and not adjacent to the rink, which makes for a short but annoying walk, especially when it’s raining or carrying heavy hockey gear.
That aside, the interior of the place isn’t too cold which is nice for spectators who don’t want to freeze their butts off and the ice is of pretty good quality, although it does tend to take a while to freeze over once the zamboni runs. That aside, the locker rooms are numerous, I counted four, are kept clean and warm as well. Sometimes too warm but that’s not a bad thing, especially in winter.
I have yet to go there for a public ice skating session but would go there in a heartbeat as I find it quite nice.

What a perfect time for ice skating!
I was driving home from the Fresh Pond Mall yesterday and decided to take the long route home via my old town, Belmont. As I drove past Belmont High and wondered what the mobile home looking things were in the school’s parking lot I remembered a very important thing. I can go ice skating for free at the school’s rink!
So, here’s yet another free and fun activity. Pick up a calendar with the times of public and family skating, it is advised that Belmont residents are the only ones who can use the rink.
Don’t feel like being indoors? NO problem. Right across the street, next to the pool is a little self made rink where some kids were playing ice hockey.
I hope you are enjoying the winter sports!!!
