Note:

Policies for Summer 2025 City Freestyle Sessions:

- Advance registration for City Freestyle sessions during the summer season (Monday 6/9 – Sunday 8/3) will be available online via RecDesk.
- Registration for each week of City Freestyle sessions will begin on Monday at 8:30 am two weeks in advance. For example, registration for the week of July 21 – 27 will begin at 8:30 am on Monday 7/7. Registration for the week of June 9 – 15 will begin at 8:30 am on Tuesday 5/27 due to the Memorial Day holiday.
- The maximum number of skaters permitted on a session is 20. During flex registration, skaters will be able to see how many spaces are remaining in a session.
- Each week of the summer season will be set up as a separate program in RecDesk. Flex registration will allow skaters to select the sessions that they want to attend and register in advance online. Skaters will be able to revisit the programs later to add additional sessions, but will not be able to adjust previously purchased sessions online.
- Registration for individual sessions will be available online, as space permits, up until the start of a session. Once a session begins, additional skaters will be accepted, as space permits, in-person only. Any skater wishing to join a session as a walk-on will need to do so by checking in with the Facility Supervisor on duty at the Front Office or Skate Rental counter.
- No refunds will be given for any City Freestyle sessions for skater cancellations or no shows.
- All online advance registrations will be charged at the standard rate of $8 per session for Shaker Heights residents and $10 per session for non-residents.
- Skaters holding City Freestyle punch cards can utilize their punch cards for advance registration for City Freestyle sessions by calling the Thornton Park Front Office at 216-491-1295 during regular business hours (M-F, 8:30 am - 5 pm) or by visiting the Front Office in-person during regular business hours. Punches will be deducted from a skater’s account at the time of registration.
- If a skater needs to adjust previously purchased sessions, they must do so by calling the Thornton Park Front Office at 216-491-1295 during regular business hours (M-F, 8:30 am - 5 pm) or by visiting the Front Office in-person during regular business hours. Participants will be able to transfer a previously purchased session to another session during the same week, as space permits, until 5 pm on the business day prior to the session. Transfers will not be permitted on the day of a session.
- City employees wishing to reserve a space in advance will need to pay regular admission rates.
