Glencoe residents can buy season passes for the Weinberg Family Recreation Center ice rink starting at 10 a.m. Thursday, Nov. 5.
The outdoor refrigerated rink at 305 Randolph Street opens Nov. 27, the day after Thanksgiving, and runs through Feb. 28, 2027, weather permitting. It features an NHL-sized main rink and a smaller studio rink, hosting open skating, open hockey, broomball and figure skating lessons.
This year brings a new option. The Glencoe Park District is offering a 10-Visit Punch Pass for the first time, aimed at families and groups who want weekend access without committing to a full season pass.
Here is what each pass costs for Glencoe residents and non-residents:
Season Pass: $71 resident, $142 non-resident. Unlimited access to open skate, open hockey and broomball. Skate rentals included. Available online.
10-Visit Punch Pass (new): $100 resident, $200 non-resident. Good for weekdays and weekends. Linked to a household account, so family members and friends can share the 10 visits. Each punch covers one skater’s admission, so a group of four uses four of the 10 visits. Skate rentals cost $5 per pair.
5-Visit Guest Pass: $50 resident, $75 non-resident. Lets a season passholder bring friends. Skate rentals included. Requires a season pass.
30-Day College Pass: $45 resident, $90 non-resident. Unlimited skating for 30 days with rentals included. Must sign up in person at the rink.
Daily Admission (weekdays only): $12 resident, $24 non-resident per visit, plus $5 for skate rentals. Not available on weekends.
Children under 3 skate free. Glencoe residents 65 and older get a free pass. Skate rentals are $5 per pair for both groups.
Shannon Stevens, facility manager of Glencoe Beach and the ice rink, was honored by the park district board this year with a resolution recognizing her selection as one of the National Recreation and Park Association's 30 Under 30 and the Illinois Park and Recreation Association's Young Professional of the Year, according to board meeting records. Stevens grew within the district from intern to facility manager.
Last season, 70% of Weinberg passholders were Glencoe residents, and 66% were under 18, according to the park district's 2025–26 ice rink report. Open hockey drew heavy use from the 11-to-18 age group.
All passes are non-refundable and non-transferable. Most can be purchased online starting Nov. 5. The College Winter Break Pass requires in-person registration at the rink. For questions, call the Weinberg Family Recreation Center at (847) 835-4440.
