Its time skate outdoors and breathe the fresh air. It also gives you the benefits of burning up to 500 calories an hour while improving blood pressure, heart rate, and mood. Just grab your puffy coats, warm gloves and perhaps a helmet for little tykes and head to Reston Town Center. The Ice-skating Pavilion opened Friday, November 8 with nonstop, seven-day a week skating, now through mid-March and extended holiday hours.
Cole Hilling, Savannah Myzk and Denver, 5, have the outdoor ice-skating requirements down pat.
According to Reston Connection, "On Saturday afternoon, the skate shop proved fully stocked with rentals of more than 500 pairs of hockey and figure skates in sizes 8 toddler's through men’s 13. In addition to skates, the shop offered ice-skating training aids for children to assist them in getting their balance and confidence. The aids were multi-sized fiberglass penguins and snowmen with glides for feet and handlebars on their heads. The products stabilized new skaters, giving them confidence on the ice. Parents no longer had to strain their backs to hold up their children but could skate beside them instead."
As per Reston Connection, "Located at 1818 Discovery Street in the heart of Reston Town Center, known for its dining and shopping options, the rink is open to novice and experienced skaters. Highlights of special ice-skating events offered at the rink include Friday Rock the Rink, Saturday Cartoon Skate and Thursday College Night as well as lessons, private party availability and a Work Perk Program."
