*** 2019-2020 ***…read more The Reilly Memorial Rink at Cleveland Circle is a short walk from both the final stop on the C Line, and the Reservoir Station on the D Line. During my first visit this season, I noticed that the ladies room had been moved to the corner, and enlarged with a separate changing room space that isn't padded to protect any ice skates on your feet. I also noticed that they didn't zamboni the ice that public skate time. Public skating begins 11/29/19, ends 3/1/20 Public skating hours Saturday & Sunday: 2pm - 3:50pm Tuesday, Thursday & Friday: 12pm - 1:50pm Wednesday: public stick time 12pm - 1:50pm

The only pro of this establishment is that there is free-of-charge public skating. The rentals are…read morealso decently cheap, $7 for figure skates & $8 for hockey skates I believe. Aside from that, there really isn't anything special. The second I got onto the ice, I was bombarded by about 25 little kids who consistently kept falling right in front of my skates. Keep in mind, this wasn't as hazardous as it could've been because I was only able to go about 2 mph on my skates as each square-foot was covered by an ice skater. I felt like I was playing dodgeball. By no means was this the fault of the kids, because everyone learns to skate at some point and it was actually quite cute seeing them learn. However, the public skating hours are very limited (2 hours per weekend day) + (the fact that it's free). Everybody is gonna sprint there! This isn't ideal, practice, or physically safe. There was absolutely no room to skate freely. Also, the rental hockey skates I got were very weird, the blade was not centered correctly and it seemed like it needed some sharpening.

Oh, there's a skating rink out there in Quincy? Well, Yelp didn't know about it either so I guess…read moreI shouldn't feel bad that I didn't know. Out in the front they have a handful or two of parking spots, but out in the back there's a really nice sized parking lot that I covet for the other (more convenient) skating rinks I frequent. Five long benches were plenty for the decent sized crowd that I found sprawled out on the rink this afternoon. Everyone left their shoes and bags under the benches since there were no shelves or lockers available for our use. But the gal's bathroom with 3 toilets, 2 sinks, and a super strong blow dryer, was really clean and well stocked with toilet paper and soap. I had my own skates, but my friend rented a pair of hockey skates for $5 at the snack bar window, which also had hot chocolate and a small selection of candy for sale.

Kids have been here for a skating party and lessons. They offer skate rentals during free skate, a…read moresnack bar, and machines. I like that they have an area with benches that the kids can put on their skates or the parents can sit and wait while the kids are in their lessons. They also have standing areas around the rink so one can watch their children skate, but it can get cold and it's nice to have the option of sitting out and warming up. The rink can use some updating tho, but overall it's a good place for the kids to skate.

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.
