Who doesn’t love to skate on a pond you can call your own? Getting outside and laughing and having a great time in another winter sport right here in Seeley Lake. On February 15, 2026 the Lions hosted a skate party at the Lions Park where we have our own pond and make sure it gets filled with enough water if Mother Nature is not cooperative enough to have thick enough ice and a great surface.
Our park committee chairman Lion Rich Westin has been the one to maintain and oversee the safety of the ice to ensure a fun time for all. Lion Gary Swain, a former NHL player, helps get donations of skates and, with the help of a local resident that has access to a skate sharpening machine, keeps the skate shed in top shape. These skates are available in all sizes to fit our local residents for a fun day of skating anytime. Just goes to show you that all you have to do is get out there and find the activities that await!
Thank you for all the hard work these two Lions put in to have a safe and fun place to go. Just another thing to do on a cold day in Seeley.
