The Rock at La Cantera's Winterfest is celebrating the holidays with a unique synthetic ice-skating rink. The rink is a temperature-controlled attraction, allowing for year-round skating regardless of the weather.
A new opportunity to celebrate the holidays is open right now on the Northwest Side of San Antonio . The month-and-a-half-long event features everything from Christmas movies shown on the big screen in Frost Plaza, meet and greets with Santa, the opportunity to make s’more over the fire, and outdoor ice skating. The skating rink is a big attraction at The Rock , and officials said they are excited to have it on-site for community members to use.
\u201cWe want to connect with everyone in San Antonio, and we want to have those little differentiators, ‘why come out here to The Rock? Why am I here at Frost Plaza?’ So the ice rink is one of those things that really stood out for us,\u201d said Alex Embree, Spurs Spokesperson. There is something unique about the ice rink at “Winterfest.” It isn’t real ice. Instead, it’s synthetic plastic. What makes synthetic plastic special is its temperature control, meaning skaters can use it no matter the temperature outside. This is big because, as we know, our holiday season in South Texas can be warmer than in other parts of our country. The heat can make it harder to maintain a true ice rink in our area. \u201cIt’s really about the synthetic plastic it’s made from. It’s temperature controlled so when it does get hot, when it gets warmer, it’s not going to be affected,\u201d said Embree. It doesn’t melt, which means there’s no water or no grooves in the rink. This makes falls less common and less hurtfulIt’s low maintenance and only requires to be polished once a week, rather than every few hours like your typical ice rinkIt is free to walk into Frost Plaza and explore during “Winterfest;” however, ice skate rentals do cost $1
