Gus Darien Ice Arena: OPEN
The Gus Darien Ice Arena generally opens the third week of December and closes the second week of February (weather and ice conditions-permitting). Ice maintenance occurs in the morning Monday-Friday, and the arena opens for skating at 12pm these days.  Flood lights illuminate the ice until 9pm (please note that the lights will go off promptly and completely at this time). The Arena is reserved Wednesday nights in January and February from 6pm-10pm for the Carbondale Recreation Broomball League, and Tuesdays and Thursdays in January and February from 4pm-6:30pm for Youth Hockey Lessons. Drop-in hockey is allowed at the Arena unless there are programs or private rentals.  However, hockey is not allowed to supersede recreational skating use except during scheduled drop-in times.  Please respect other skaters and set up the goals accordingly to accommodate all user groups.  Drop-in hockey times are Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday from 7:30pm-9pm. The Arena is available for private half or full arena rentals.  Please call 970.510.1290 for more information, including available times and dates, rates, and other details.  Rentals are not allowed during scheduled programs, including open skate, or holidays (with the exception of school programs).  Full Rink Rentals are limited to 2 hours.
