My favorite place to skate around the Boston area. The Jack Kirrane ice rink is in a lovely setting…read moreas it's not only outdoors, but at the top of a hill surrounded by trees and then the rest of the Larz Anderson Park. It's a great visual experience on top of having nice ice. A plus is that aside the rink is a flat patch of rectangular ice for beginners to practice on. One thing I don't like about skating at the Reilly Rink in Cleveland Circle is that beginners flop all over the ice. You can sit at the side of Reilly and time it on your watch and not go more than five seconds without seeing someone fall on the ice and possibly cause a pile-up. Kirrane has a nice solution for it. Reilly is free and Kirrane does charge $8 for Brookline residents (as of early 2026, fees may change with inflation!!!) and $10 for non-residents. They also rent nice quality skates, both figure and hockey style, if you don't have your own. The absolute best is to come in December to early January for the afternoon public skate and watch the sun set and the sky change colors off to the west before they shut down at 4:30pm. If you're lucky there will also be some snow in the surrounding trees adding to the experience. The only negative experience I has was that the staff didn't confront some pain in the butt kids. Some kids around ages 10-12 went on the beginner ice and were skating really fast and then diving and sliding on the ice as far as they could and knocking into beginner skaters, including young children. Neither their parents nor the staff said a word to them. I was close to going hockey player and roughing some of them up to teach them a lesson. They really should crack down on this before someone really gets hurt.

My 4 year old daughter had a great time and she did extremely well for her first take at skating…read more Everything went smoothly. I did overhear that there was a fight. I asked one of the cashiers when purchasing an Icee and she confirmed there was one and pointed to the area. At that time, I recalled seeing a group on the floor but I thought it was from them falling while skating. I've must've caught the very end of it. She stated the police were called and they left before their arrival. The next thing was while waiting to go back on the floor and watching the experienced skaters skate, a female very upset began swearing at another unknown group saying "she got me f**ked up". Another patron also watching stated "Friday night". Yes, it was a Friday night! With that said I would definitely return but during the morning and/or afternoon sessions.
