As of February 17, 2012 the Skating Rink is Closed for the Season. See you next winter!
Thorp has the only public ice skating rink with a staffed warming house between Wausau and Chippewa Falls. Skate or play hockey under our lights and to the music piped over the loudspeakers. You'll always find a warm fire and the attendant, Gibby, is more than happy to sharpen your skates, or help you tie them. If you ask him nicely, he may even lend you a hockey puck or cook your potatoes for you while you skate. If you're cold or tired, relax inside where there's a pop machine, and occasional card game, and usually an episode of "Deal or No Deal" on Gibby's old television. He may pretend to grumble, but there's no place he'd rather be. Gibby's been doing this for over 20 years.
The City of Thorp is not responsible for accidents that may occur on the ice. Participants may be asked to leave the premises for failure to follow rink rules.
