Our family has very much appreciated having this activity throughout the winter months for several years! We’ve been skating around 20 times this winter alone.
Thank you to the City of Elgin for offering this to it’s citizens. Please continue this tradition!
In days gone by in 60’s and maybe 70’s I can remember enjoying skating on the Lords Park Lagoon. You would have enjoyed that too I believe.
i was skating in the lagoon in the 80s possibly 90s. it was fun
The Lords Park lagoons were great when there was no road salt runoff and the water would freeze. People still call the Museum every year to ask about skating on the lagoon. Wish we could tell them yes. The city rink is a really nice substitute, though.

I absolutely love the photos that appear on this site. The depth of field use is magnificent and so is the use of light. This is truly art.
Even if I were to be banned from commenting here (GASP))I would still visit this site for the photos.
thanks, boxcar. i appreciate the moral support :)
