NOW OPEN!!

LITTLE NORWAY II: Volunteers have been working hard to get Little Norway II up and running this season for ice skating!!

Little Norway II is located on the corner of S. Water Street and E. Sassafras St. There will be a variety of snacks and drinks to choose from for a fee. You will have access to the building to be warmed by the fire and have access to an outside port-a-john. Admission is FREE and ice skates are available for the public to use FREE OF CHARGE, along with ice hockey sticks, etc. Little Norway II’s hours vary with the availability of volunteers.

To start the season, the plan is to be open from Noon – 9:00PM Saturday, 1/31/26 and Sunday, 2/1/26. Hours are possible during the week from 4:00PM – 9:00PM; however, ALWAYS LOOK FOR THE “OPEN” FLAG. We hope you will come out and enjoy Little Norway II! 

How can you tell if the rink is open?  There is a flag that will be flying on the Little Norway II sign to the right of the building.  If the flag is out, the rink is open.  If the flag is NOT out, then the building is not open, and the rink is closed.  The rink/building is operated by many volunteers in the community and only opens as those volunteers’ schedules allow.  We extend our thanks to all of those who give of their time to help make this free entertainment possible.  Please be kind to the volunteers and remember if they say the rink is closing, please thank them for their time and leave the rink. All skating is at your own risk and please do not skate alone.

Additionally, there may be some work done to freshen the ice up throughout the “season” so please be mindful that we are working with mother nature and fluctuating freezing temps so it may close intermittently. If the rink and cold weather holds up, we will work to keep it open as long as possible.

Please be grateful for the volunteers, the access to such a cool place to go, and don’t bang on the ice with sticks and skates.  Breaking holes in the ice where you see air bubbles causes tripping hazards. This is a free community resource open to everyone so please respect it so everyone can enjoy it.

If you are interested in volunteering, please contact the Borough Manager, Lauren Martz at 570-374-2311 ext. 113 or email via borough@selinsgrove.org or lmartz@selinsgrove.org.
