To ensure the safety of our patrons during the current COVID-19 pandemic, the Earl E. Schaffer Municipal Ice Rink, under the guidance of the Bethlehem Health and Emergency Management Departments, will operate following the COVID-19 protocols outlined below: 





  • Due to Governor Wolf's current 50% capacity restriction, only 230 patrons will be admitted to each public skate session. EVERYONE WHO ENTERS THE FACILITY MUST PAY ADMISSION...NO EXCEPTIONS WILL BE MADE!


  • All public skate patrons will ENTER the building through the main lobby entrance and must remain 6ft apart while waiting to enter.


  • EXITING the premises must occur within 15 minutes of the end of the session to allow rink employees to properly sanitize the facility. 


  • Masks must be worn at all times while on the premises.


  • Everyone, not in the same household, is expected to practice social distancing and remain six feet apart on and off the ice.


  • The concession stand and party room will be closed this season.
