One ice skating rink, three ways: witnessing Liberty Station's rink through the eyes of a child, a parent and a grandparent
An ice skating rink is a lot of things. It is a milky white stage where everyone is the star of their own fantasy on ice. It is a fight ring for wrestling down fears — of falling, getting up again, or looking weird while doing either. It’s a runway for all sorts of leaps. It is a ticket to a certain kind of calm.
Veronica bounded over, skates in hand. She’s been skating since she was in first grade. Now it’s second nature. “It’s pretty much like walking, but faster,” she said. On the ice, she feels like a kid again. “It’s nice and calming. It’s an easy way to get out of, like, life. Like all the hard things and stuff.”
“Every year, there’s a huge period of time between ice skating,” said her older daughter, Raegan, 10, who added that it can be hard to wait. Aria, 5, said she likes skating fast. “We didn’t skate that long today. But knowing that it’s going to Children’s Hospital, I wasn’t as worried about getting my bang for my buck,” Karis said.
