BECKLEY, WV (WVNS) — For those looking for winter fun, there’s no reason to wait for snow in Beckley.

An ice-skating rink is open and ready for skaters at Beckley Exhibition Coal Mine, now through Sunday, December 3, 2023.

Beckley Parks and Recreation Director, Leslie Baker, said the rink opens at 3 p.m., making it a great option for an after-school outing.

We’re open every day in the afternoons, except for Thanksgiving. The weather seems to be pretty nice for us, so we just encourage everybody to come out and try their hand at ice-skating.”
