Public Skating Fun

Public skating is a great way to bring communities together! It fosters connections while enjoying a fun and active experience. It’s been great to see schools, churches, Girl Scout troops, and other organizations participating. The camaraderie and shared laughter on the ice can create lasting memories for everyone involved.

“Our students kicked off the weekend with an exciting field to Hetland Skating Arena. After a week of hard work and dedication in the classroom they got to unwind and have a blast on the ice!” –Nativity Preparatory School New Bedford Inc.

“We” try to get our members together for a fun activity once a month and Hetland Skating Arena was a perfect choice for January! Affordable and FUN!!”-First Unitarian Church In New Bedford
