Rink FAQ
Is the ice real?
100% real, chiller-cooled ice — resurfaced between every session. Yes, even when it's 75° out. Especially then.
What should I wear?
Long pants, socks and layers. Gloves are smart for new skaters. This is still LA — you'll see people skating in shorts, and honestly, we respect it.
Can I bring my own skates?
Absolutely — own-skate admission is discounted $4 at the window.
Where do I park?
Westfield Topanga's garages are free; the rink is on the Owensmouth side. Rideshare drop-off is at the main mall entrance.
Do you offer free community nights?
Yes — sponsor-funded free skate nights are announced each season for West Valley schools and community groups. Sponsors make it happen.
