Outdoor Skating
Weather permitting, Dorrs Pond in Livingston Park is cleared of snow, making a delightful outdoor skating venue free of charge. There is a Warming Hut adjacent to the pond where patrons can use the restrooms and warm up by the wood stove.
Please call the (603) 624-6444 to find if the ice is considered "safe to skate on."
