But the National Gallery of Art’s rink is open.

The ice rinks at the National Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden and Washington Harbour will open next Friday.

A family in the quiet, wooded Wesley Heights neighborhood in Northwest D.C. is upsetting its neighbors with the construction of a backyard ice rink, but there’s very little they can do to block it.

Local ice skaters will have a new option this winter, as construction just started on a new ice skating rink along the Georgetown waterfront.

Just as Jazz in the Garden means it’s summer, ice skating by the National Mall means it’s (nearly) winter.

Ah, the onset of winter. When we start talking about the ticket lottery for the National Christmas Tree lighting, you know it’s not far behind. But with winter comes the return of several much-loved traditions, like taking a spin around the Ice Rink at the National Gallery of Art’s Sculpture Garden.
