Murrayfield Ice Rink

Important Customer Information

On Sunday 7th February 2010 all of our skating sessions will run as normal. Due to a rugby match being played on this date, car access to the front of the ice rink will be restricted from 1.00pm until after the match (approx. 5.00pm). This situation is out of our control but we would advise customers that some limited parking is found usually in the Saughton Grove/Crescent/Loan area which is only a five minute walk away. The police will also permit customers to drop off and pick up in Riversdale Crescent during the restricted period.

Preparing to Skate

Make sure you have the right clothing and are prepared for your first visit to Murrayfield. You will need to dress warmly with long legged trousers which allow room for movement without being so baggy you risk getting a blade caught in them. A T-shirt or long sleeved top and a jumper is usually fine although some rinks may be colder than others so a fleece jacket will keep you warm until you get moving. Avoid bulky or loose clothing and hats and scarves which hamper movement. You do not need special socks - sports socks are ideal. Dont wear very thick socks or multiple pairs as this can lead to extra friction and rubbing on ankles and heels. Gloves are a great idea, they keep your hands warm and are safer if you fall, but are not essential. If hiring skates, get a good fit so they support your ankles and are comfortable. Generally ask for skates the same size as your shoes but you may need to try more than one size before you have the best fit. Boots should be laced tightly to fully support the ankle and reduce movement of the foot. If they are a good fit, they should not be uncomfortable on the soles of the feet or the ankle.
