Northbrook's Outdoor Ice Rinks
The Northbrook Park District operates two outdoor ice rinks: Tower Rink (1225 Cedar, right behind Village Hall) and Meadowhill Park (1479 Maple, adjacent to Northbrook Junior High). The Park District needs 72 hours of weather below 15 degrees to begin freezing the rinks, followed by at least five days of below-freezing weather before skating is allowed. For current conditions, check nbparks.org or call the Park District's weather hotline at 847·291·2985.
