Steinberg Rink Policy
YOUR RESPONSIBILITY CODE
Ice skating is for fun and enjoyment for everyone.
Regardless of your level of skill, there are elements of risk in ice skating.
Use common sense, show courtesy to others, and anticipate dangerous situations before they arise.
The following guidelines are some basic examples of common sense and courtesy:
1. Always stay in control, and be able to stop or avoid other skaters.
2. While on the ice, keep moving. Stopping, skating in groups, blocking exit doors, or sitting on the dasher boards obstructs other skaters.
3. People ahead of you have the right of way. It is your responsibility to avoid hitting or disrupting other skaters.
Speeding – Weaving – Roughness – Horseplay – Throwing Items – Carrying Anything – Eating – Drinking – Smoking.
These are just some examples of IRRESPONSIBLE ACTIONS, while on the ice.
4. Before entering the ice surface, be certain that you are wearing skates that are properly and securely fastened to your feet. Be sure to watch out for oncoming skaters. When off the ice, stay on the rubber matting. Street shoes should not be worn on the ice.
5. Children or other items should not be carried while skating.
6. Rink resurfacing and maintenance equipment can be dangerous. Promptly leave the ice when resurfacing is announced and in progress, and keep back from the railings. Once signaled to return to the ice, do so with care.
7. Obey the Monitors. Report any hazard to the Monitors.
8. Respect the ice and all guests. Please do not litter or use foul language.
This is just a partial list.
There are elements of risk that common sense and personal awareness can help reduce. You are ultimately responsible for your personal safety.
Use caution, and skate in control. Respect other skaters.
The rink’s Monitors cannot guarantee your safety and will not protect you from injury. It is your responsibility to avoid other skaters and hazards. Failure to use good judgment, failure to skate responsibly, and failure to follow the Responsibility Code may result in the loss of skating privileges.
