The University of Nebraska Medical Center’s outdoor ice skating rink will open Friday, Nov. 30 and will remain open through Sunday, Feb. 10.
\n 
\nThe outdoor rink, which is open to the public, is located just east of 42nd Street, midway between Emile Street and Dewey Avenue on the north side of the Michael F. Sorrell Center for Health Science Education. Admission is $7, which includes skates (cash or credit card only – no checks or debit cards).
\n 
\nWilliam Lawlor, assistant vice chancellor for business and finance, noted that the UNMC Ice Rink has purchased new skates, so that will be an important new feature this year.
\n 
\nHours of operation are:
\nMonday – 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.
\nTuesday – 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
\nWednesday – 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
\nThursday – 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
\nFriday and Saturday – 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.
\nSunday – 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.
\n 
\n“The outdoor ice rink is only open for about 10 weeks, so we want to maximize its usage,” Lawlor said. “It’s the premier outdoor skating rink in our community. We want people to use it.”
\n 
\nAnytime the weather is consistently above 50 degrees or there’s a wind-chill of zero degrees or below, the public is asked to first check to see if the rink is open by going to Facebook at https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/theiceattheunmc<\/a> or by calling (402) 559-0697.
\n 
\nThe rink is closed on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings for the UNMC student broomball and curling leagues. The rink also will be closed on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
\n 
\nFree parking is available in Lot 15 (surface lot on 40th Street between Dewey Avenue and Emile Street) located on the north and east sides of the UNMC Center for Healthy Living.
\n 
\nThis year, the 24-hour UNMC Skate-a-thon for Parkinson’s will begin on Friday, Jan. 25 at 2 p.m. and end Saturday, Jan. 26 at 2 p.m. It will mark the ninth consecutive year that UNMC has hosted the 24-hour event that raises money for Parkinson’s research at UNMC and assists families dealing with Parkinson’s.
\n 
\nMore details will soon be available at the website for Parkinson’s Nebraska, the lead organization on the event – http:\/\/parkinsonsnebraska.org\/<\/a>.
