The City of Norway would like to invite you to enjoy outdoor winter recreation at its skating rink located in the Strawberry Lake Recreation Area.

The rink size is 150' x 200' taking 30,000 gallons of water to get the rink in shape for the season opener. Maintenance requires an additional 1,500 gallons water to be added daily.

There is a warming facility that provides a place to rest and warm-up. The "warming shack" also provides a restroom facility, drinking fountain, and vending machines. And for those who do not have skates of their own the city has accumulated many pairs of skates from donations that are available for use at no charge.
