Parking Fees Threaten Ice Skating Access | Bristol News

A new parking fee at an ice rink is sparking outrage among parents, especially those with chronic conditions or limited mobility, who fear the cost will push families out of the sport. With fees starting at $5 for five hours, one mom with fibromyalgia says it could add $40 a month to her already steep skating expenses — a necessity for her kids’ mental health and her own mobility. Others, including a long-distance skater and a local coach, argue the policy ignores the reality of accessibility and affordability, questioning whether the rink truly supports inclusive skating. With equipment costs already high, many worry this fee could be the tipping point for families already stretched thin.
