Groove & Glide

The annual Groove & Glide ice skating series from Madison Parks has more often than not been dogged by warm weather in recent seasons. But with this week’s cold temps it’s looking like the first session will take place as scheduled at Olbrich Park. The skating location is specified as 201 Garrison St.; that’s behind the botanical gardens lot, near Garver. Skate rentals or concessions are not available for this location, but some loaner skates will be available. Future dates are set for Elver, Heritage Heights, Vilas and Westmorland parks; find the schedule and updates at cityofmadison.com.
