Skating away

Single-digit and lower frigid temperatures over the weekend weren’t enough to dissuade skaters from taking to the ice on the Plymouth Mill Pond. Whether gliding across the frozen surface, trying to keep their feet under them or engaging in a spirited hockey game, skaters filled the ice as the pond was open for its first full weekend of the season. And when they weren’t out on the ice, skaters were warming up (right) inside the warming shack at the end of Mill Street. The warming shack is open from 4-9 p.m. Monday through Friday, 1-9 p.m. Saturday and 1-8 p.m. Sunday. Skates are available for use for free.
