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.

FREE Skate Rental—The city has accumulated many pairs of skates from donations that are available for use at no charge. Please donate your no longer used skates to City Hall for distribution at the skating rink. Adult sizes 8 and up especially needed.
