Lace up and learn to skate! With the help of Evergreen's skilled instructors, you'll be gliding around the outdoor rink in no time, while building skills and confidence in the great outdoors.

Adult - Beginner

Adults (ages 16+) lessons welcome beginner skaters who are learning to skate for the first time or looking to improve their skills in a fun, supportive environment. In these lessons, Evergreen’s skilled instructors will help skaters to build comfort and confidence on the ice while learning basic skating skills such as pushing and gliding techniques, backwards skating and stopping.  4-week sessions are available on our beautiful outdoor rink.
