SKATING PONDS CLOSED
FORT WAYNE, Ind. - The skating ponds at Lakeside, East Swinney and Reservoir parks are closed. All the ponds have one half to two and a half inches of soft snow ice on them. The Parks & Recreation Department will mark ponds with red lights and flags to indicate that conditions are not safe.
More reliable ice is available at Headwaters Park during public skating hours. Public skating times are subject to change due to special events, rentals and holidays.
The City urges everyone to stay safe this winter by following the rules and guidelines of the City and the Parks and Recreation Department.
For up-to-date information regarding ice skating and pond ice conditions, please call the Fort Wayne Parks and Recreation Department at (260) 427-6000 or visit www.fortwayneparks.org.
