I will be in both Hudson, NH and Bedford, MA this weekend. I'd love to catch a public or freestyle session near either of these communities. Although I've done some yellow pages searches for nearby rinks, from what I can tell, the rinks nearby are either members-only (Hayden in Lexington, MA) or closed for the season. Can anyone suggest rinks near Bedford/Lexington, MA or Hudson, NH that are actually open right now? Thanks!

Yup, Hayden is closed. If it was during the skating season, I might be able to get you on since I work there on weekends.

The only other rink in the Burlington Ice Palace. They are in the middle of their summer ice sessions but they do allow walk-ons. I skate there regularly on Tuesday mornings but have walked on other days as well.

Hope this helps.

Nashua, NH has a new ice rink that is open in the summer.

Also, try the Manchester and Hooksett, NH ice rinks. (about 30 minutes from Hudson)

Nashoba Olympia has lots of FS ice and that rink is located in Acton/Boxboro, MA (not too far from Bedford).

Hope this helps.
