2023-24 Ice Rink Season

One of St. Paul’s few remaining natural rinks has its home in Desnoyer Park where this true gem brings our neighborhood together throughout the deep winter months for outdoor entertainment and recreation. The rink is maintained all winter through a collaborative effort by the Desnoyer Park Improvement Assoc. (DPIA), the City of St. Paul Parks & Rec Dept., and most importantly, our volunteer neighborhood rink crew. If you can spare any time during this short rink season we would love to have your help on the crew! Fill out the Rink Crew interest form on the events page.
