Oyster Bay Town Offering $2 Skating On 2/22/22

TOWN OF OYSTER BAY, NY — As the winter break approaches, the Town of Oyster Bay is giving residents a chance to ice skate for a cause, and at an unbeatable price.

On Feb. 22 — that's 2/22/22 — the town will have $2 admission and $2 skate rental for residents who bring two non-perishable food items to any of the town's three skating rinks.

"The date of 2/22/22 is unique in that it falls this year during most school district's winter break, where many families and children are looking for fun staycation opportunities," said Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino. "We invite our residents to help us 'double our efforts' in collecting non-perishable food items on 2/22, welcoming them to skate for just $2 at any of our wonderful three ice skating facilities."

The town's outdoor rinks at Marjorie Post Park in Massapequa and Syosset-Woodbury Community Park, as well as the indoor Town Skating Center at Bethpage Community Park, will be open for residents to enjoy, weather permitting. The skating sessions will run from 1-3 p.m., 4-6 p.m. and 1-9 p.m. Skaters of all ages and skill levels are welcome.

In addition to discounted admissions and skate rentals, the concession stands will be selling pretzels, churros and hot chocolate for $2 each.
