WAUSAU PILOT AND REVIEW
After weeks of above-average temperatures that hampered ice making, residents finally have a chance to lace up their skates.
The outdoor ice rink at The 400 Block in downtown Wausau will open today, Jan. 18, at 5 p.m., according to Wausau and Marathon County Parks, Recreation and Forestry Operations Manager Greg Freix.
Hours are 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. The rink features a warming house and lights for night skating.
Anytime the combined air and wind temperature falls to -20 degrees or colder, the rink will close.
