Let’s go skate in the Hamptons

Buckskill ice skating rink east hampton

Ice skating in the Hamptons? We live in an area known for its summer season and beaches, but when winter comes it’s time to put the skates on. And we don’t have to wait for a big freeze to turn local ponds into ice. Instead we head to the woods where summer tennis courts are transformed into an ice skating rink. East Hampton’s Buckskill Summer Tennis Club becomes Buckskill Winter Club.

My kids first had a refresher lesson to regain their confidence on the ice.

Snow suits on for extra padding. Helmets covered in stickers. A refrigerated ice rink all set for figure skating, ice hockey and beginner’s classes. smiling skatingtheo skating hamptonsone down ice skating hamptons

After two days of festive feasting it was time to be outside and…slide, twirl and fall.

Lesson over and time for the public sessions to begin. I tied my laces and joined my children and the crowd of families entering the rink for seasonal skating in the Hamptons.

  1. How fab, we love ice skating – just what we have been doing today! Every winter The Eden Project in Cornwall turns it’s concert area into an ice rink, it’s very popular with old and young alike. Judging by the happy photos your children had a fantastic time. Thanks for linking up and sharing with Country Kids.

  2. This looks like so much fun! Would love for little T (and me!) to learn how to skate too. You’re definitely right, when one hears the place the Hampton’s mentioned, one thinks of beaches, the sun and summer. As always, lovely photos 🙂

  3. You got some lovely shots there. Looks a great place to skate. We have only done it once as a whole family as we fell over quite a bit – ought to go again.
