Winthrop Rink In the SUMMER
We’re a nonprofit dedicated to fostering community through the joys of outdoor skating and recreation.
Since the early 1900s, locals have ice skated on the frozen lakes and rivers of the Methow Valley in central Washington State. But in some winters, the temperatures weren’t cold enough for the water to safely freeze for skating. So, in 1999, community members founded our nonprofit and partnered with the Town of Winthrop to build an NHL-sized, refrigerated outdoor ice rink. The Winthrop Rink opened its doors in 2007, and has grown to provide 135 days of ice skating in the fall and winter seasons, and 120 days of dryland arena sports in the spring and summer. The Winthrop Rink is enjoyed by around 7,000 youth and 9,000 adults every year, and rink-related tourism generates over $1.3 million annually to the local economy.
