The rink is located in Downtown Walnut Creek's Civic Park and is sponsored by the Downtown Business Association and the Walnut Creek Chamber of Commerce.
FREE SKATING!: The Grand Opening Celebration will take place on Thursday at 4:30pm, followed by 2 hours of FREE SKATING from 5-7pm. Regular pricing ranges from $11 (off peak) to $15 (peak) per hour.

Two new restaurants have opened in downtown Walnut Creek over the past couple of weeks.
Le Cheval (French-Vietnamese) has been an Oakland favorite for over 20 years. They recently opened their Walnut Creek location at 1375 North Broadway (next to Smith & Hawken). Their reputation has preceded them... our walk-in visit last Friday required a 30 minute wait for a table - and was well worth the wait. Check out the Le Cheval Bird's Nest, Cube (sirloin) Beef with Green Beans and of course their famous Red Rice! Call for reservations (925) 938-2288.
The Dudums are at it again! They have recently added a third restaurant to their two highly-successful downtown eateries (McCovey's and Bing Crosby's). Maria Maria La Cantina is located in the former location of The Cantina at 1470 North Broadway. This is the 1st of three Maria Maria restaurants (Mill Valley and Santa Rosa to follow) in which the Dudums (Dudum Sports & Entertainment Corp) have partnered with renowned singer Carlos Santana to deliver a 'genuine yet modern, flavorful Mexican cuisine'. Call for reservations (925) 946-1010. Check it out and post your review back to this blog.
