PENFIELD – On Jan. 6 from 4:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m., there will be open ice skating under the lights at Parker Dam State Park. So bring your skates and come enjoy a winter tradition on the frozen lake. The lights will be on, music playing, and fire crackling for the comfort and enjoyment of visitors. Normally the day-use area of the park closes at dusk, so take advantage of this opportunity. The park has some skates of various sizes available for rental at $2.00 per pair for the entire three hours (may not be able to accommodate all visitors- first come, first served). Some skating instruction may also be available, based on staff availability.
