 Every winter, the lovely folks at the Grand Rapids Parks and Recreation Department turn the cement surface of Rosa Parks Circle into an ice rink, where people of all ages and abilities can enjoy a leisurely and fun experience. Join WMAC at 6 pm on Friday, January 31 for open skate and a chance to get to know some fellow AmeriCorps members!
Admission is just $3 for adults and $1 for kids. However, thanks to our partnership with MyGRCityPoints, you can get in for even cheaper (and by that we mean FREE)! A single day pass is only 250 points, which is half the monthly amount awarded to AmeriCorps members just for serving. Subscribe to our newsletter for the monthly code!
