This unique outdoor venue features a 1,000-foot refrigerated trail connected to a 5,000-square-foot skating pond, creating a flowing circuit with rolling curves and gentle hills in the winter, maintained by an underground cooling system and resurfaced with a Zamboni for a smooth glide. When temperatures rise, the trail transforms into a vibrant roller-skating and multi‑use path for activities like rollerblading and scootering, so there’s something to enjoy in every season.
Guests can take advantage of skate and equipment rentals, relax in cabana seating, and access nearby food and restrooms at the adjacent restaurant, with options for private and group events to make any outing special. Whether it’s a family day, date night, or community celebration, Glass City Ice & Roller delivers accessible fun in a scenic riverfront setting.

Toledo, OH sits on the Maumee River at Lake Erie’s western edge, blending revitalized riverfront districts and friendly neighborhoods with a proud glass-making heritage; with expansive parks and standout arts, it’s an easygoing escape with big-city perks close at hand. Nature lovers can explore trails and overlooks at Glass City Metropark (with The Ribbon skating trail in winter), bike the greens of Middlegrounds and Wildwood Preserve, or head to Maumee Bay State Park for boardwalks, a beach, and marsh wildlife. Culture fans can dive into the Toledo Museum of Art and its light-filled Glass Pavilion, catch summer concerts along the water at Promenade Park, and wander the Warehouse District and Hensville for dining, live music, and game-day energy—while family favorites like the Toledo Zoo & Aquarium and the National Museum of the Great Lakes round out a visit packed with local flavor.
