Recommended Procedures for Outdoor Ica Rink
Development and Maintenance
ICE MAKING
- In order to make ice, the temperatures generally have to be consistently below freezing for several days. !t becomes
most suitable for ice making once frost has been able to penetrate the surface to a depth of 6" - 8" and to have some
snow cover to insulate the ground surface from the sun's rays. Those conditions and their consequences generally ccz
early to mid December and between the hours of midnight to 8:OOam.
- Once the conditions are deemed suitable for ice making ( from info above) the following methods should be appiiec
best results.
A. Generally the best time to flood is 4:OOam - 10:00am or late evening hours (10:00pm & later)
B. Water should be applied in gradual increments with the goal of each "flooding" to achieve an end result of
1/8" - 1/2" of solidly frozen ice. This process should continue in intervals until the desired base surface of
3" - 5" is attained.
C. Once the base has been established, its maintenance should entail:
1) Adequate removal of snow or ice shavings from use or after a snowfall.
2) To assure a continued smooth skating surface, flooding should resume and regularly continue
(as conditions warrant) flooding to a surface of 1/8" - 1/2" increments.
3) Flooding should only take place on a surface that is as clean as possible.
SUMMARY
it is only fair to note that the quality of the surface is directly related to weather conditions. As the weather conditions
vary - so will the quality and condition of the ice. Additionally, varying weather conditions may hinder the ability to flood
regularly.
A final bit of advice is to not miss out on flooding opportunities when conditions are prime.
