Adult skating lessons at the Somerville Campus

Somerville Campus

Founders Memorial Rink – 570 Somerville Ave, Somerville, MA

Founders Memorial Rink offers parking, snack machines, and an off-ice area to put on skates and warm clothing. Skate rentals are not available at this Campus. Please make sure your skater arrives with their own skates.

Unfortunately, the Somerville Campus rinks no longer have ice available to The Skating Academy for the 2024-2025 season. As a result, beginning in the Fall, The Skating Academy will no longer be offering classes at the Somerville Campus.

To that end, The Skating Academy is excited to offer all former and current Somerville Campus students a one-time 20% discount when registering for classes at any campus. In the Fall we only offer classes at the Norwood Campus and in the Winter months classes are offered in the Boston Campus/Daly Rink, Fenway, Frog Pond, North End and West Roxbury.

For any questions regarding the discontinuation of classes at the Somerville Campus or to register for classes in another Skating Academy campus and receive the one-time 20% discount, please contact The Skating Academy at 617-787-5283 or by emailing info@skatingacademy.org.
