INDOOR ICE RINKS:
Multi-Purpose Building #1 and # 2 at Marathon Park, 1201 Stewart Ave, Wausau are converted to indoor ice from the first week in October to the beginning of March annually. These sheets of ice can be rented for organized hockey or figure skating events. There are also designated public skating hours each season. Skates are also available to rent at the facilities.
**Skates are not allowed to leave the premises. Rental skate sizes range from a child size 10 to an adult size 13. There are approximately 70 pairs of skates. They are all single blade (no double blade skates for the kids). The majority of the skates are in the size range of 4-8.
Adult Ice Skating Lessons Charlotte Hoecker will be teaching adult ice skating lessons at Marathon Park with two different sessions available to sign up for.
