The Iowa Wild's Community Ice Rinks program is set to return for the 2025–26 season, continuing its mission to make ice skating accessible across Central Iowa! In partnership with local municipalities and supported by MARSHALLTOWN as our presenting sponsor, the initiative has expanded to include new rinks in our community.

The Community Ice Rinks program, initiated in 2016 with the first rink at Raccoon River Park in West Des Moines, reflects the Iowa Wild's commitment to fostering community engagement and promoting the sport of hockey throughout the state. For more information on how to participate, complete the information below to connect with a member of our Iowa Wild Community Team.

(Please note: the Iowa Wild are not responsible for storage, operations, or maintenance of community rinks).
