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. 
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.
Buckskill Winter Club – ice skating in the Hamptons, NY
If you want to have some ice skating family fun in the Hamptons during the winter season then try out the Buckskill Winter Club on 178 Buckskill Road in East Hampton.
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.
I love ice skating! I look forward to one day taking my son. Love your pictures.
Thanks – it’s a lot of fun and can’t wait until they can whizz around on ice.
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 🙂
Thank you! There’s some fun outdoor things to do in the winter with the kids in the Hamptons, like skating, or even walks on the beach!
Sounds awfully nice ice skating in the Hamptons! A great sunny day too. All the smiles certainly show a great time was had by all #countrykids
oh wow my kids would love this sort of thing! love the sunshine!
We’ve been lucky – after a couple of snowfalls last week the weather has been surprisingly mild. Perfect for skating.
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.
We plan to do some more next week and then at the weekends when we have a change too! The Eden Project skate rink sounds amazing.
The boys have asked to go skating, so it’s on our winter list 🙂 Looks like the kids had a great time! #CountryKids
Looks like a wonderful way to spend the day, ice skating in definitely on my Bucket List
On a sunny day it’s great fun even with the tumbles!
