Skating Rink: Sensory Friendly

Dec 31, 2024
4:00 pm - 9:00 pm
DCP Park St Courts and Arena

Experience the magic of the holidays at Downtown Cary Park’s winter skating rink during this sensory-friendly skating session! Head to Park Street Courts to find the arena transformed into a frosty weather destination. Skating and skate rentals are absolutely free!

At Downtown Cary Park, we believe in creating moments that cater to all, ensuring everyone can revel in the joy of gliding on the rink without any sensory overload. At this special time, the rink will provide a serene environment for individuals and families who benefit from a sensory-friendly setting.

Imagine being surrounded by a gentle ambiance, where lights are softened, music is tuned to a soothing level, and the atmosphere is calm and welcoming. Capacity on the rink will be lowered to allow more space between visitors and sensory bags will be available upon request. It’s an opportunity to skate, laugh, and make memories in an environment designed to accommodate diverse sensory needs.

Please note that the skating rink does not take RSVPs. Check-in is in person at Park Street Courts and operates on a first-come, first-served basis until the rink reaches capacity for each skating window. Be prepared to wait in line, when necessary. Let’s make some winter memories together!
