Carol Ann Pirius South Park Skating Rink

Red Wing doesn’t have a ton of winter activity options, so this outdoor rink genuinely pulls its weight in the cold months. Locals rely on it for skating when the season kicks in, and it draws a solid mix of ages — little kids learning to stand up on blades, teens goofing around, adults who just want to get outside. It’s a community spot in the truest sense, not a commercial operation with fees and concessions, just a place to skate. If you’re visiting Red Wing in winter, it’s worth knowing this exists.
