You are outside

There are 10 rinks in Hollola, which can be frozen into skating rinks in good winters. You can find all ice rinks and rinks in the municipality of Hollola and their up-to-date situation at jälle.fi. The site shows the location of the outdoor ice and when the ice was last serviced. The fields of Heinsuo and Salpakkankakoulu have canopies for putting on skates. Other skating rinks are equipped with a bench. The toilet of the Heinsuo maintenance building is in use when there is activity in the ice rink.

Skate on the rinks at your own risk.

Good to know about outdoor ice

Making good and durable outdoor ice starts with tamping the snow. It is important to get a sufficient amount of snow under the ice to make the ice white. White ice better withstands the spring-winter sunshine, so the ice can be used for a longer spring. Freezing the field takes about a week in ideal weather, i.e. 5-10 degrees below zero. If it's over 20 degrees below zero, the ice starts to crack. The skating rink stays good as long as the temperature is at or below zero. The ice starts to soften as soon as the temperature rises to plus degrees.

Making ice on the Salpakkanka school field requires a lot from the weather. Ground ice can be made when the temperature is between 0 and -5 C.

• The freezing status of the fields and the condition of the fields are explained on the pages https://jaalle.fi/fi/hollola, which is updated by the field maintainers. 
• There are 10 frozen fields in Hollola.
• The ice rinks of the Heinsuo sports center and the Kalliola school are also maintained on weekends. Other fields are maintained only on weekdays.
• The lights are turned on and the goals and benches are brought to the rink only when the rink is ready for skating. 
• The freezing of the fields will continue at least until the end of February. After this, the fields are plowed until mid-March or as long as conditions allow.
