Rockville Town Square’s Popular Outdoor Ice Rink Open for Business

It’s that time of the year. One of Rockville Town Square’s most popular attractions – the outdoor ice rink – is officially open for business as of Wednesday.

“We are excited about the opening of the ice rink, located in the heart of Rockville for the community to enjoy all winter,” said Dan Corwin, Director, Asset Management – Mixed Use at Federal Realty Investment Trust. The 7,200 square-foot ice rink will feature an underlay “of colorful, abstract artwork by local artist Emily Eisinger, titled ‘A Rendered Edge.'”
