This promotion is part of a larger effort by the Downtown Detroit Partnership (DDP) to engage people throughout the city and metro region in a fun, healthy activity.

DDP also offers a discount to college students and downtown Detroit residents every Thursday night. From 5 to 9 p.m., those with a valid student ID or state-issued proof of residency showing a 48226 zip code receive half off admission to the rink.

The Rink at Campus Martius Park is located at 800 Woodward Avenue (at the corner of Monroe Avenue).
