OSHKOSH, Wis. (WFRV) - Ice skating is a popular winter pastime throughout Northeast Wisconsin and another local outdoor ice rink is set to open soon. According to a release from the City of Oshkosh, the outdoor skating rink in Menominee Park Zoo’s Lagoon, located at 520 Pratt Trail in Oshkosh, is scheduled to open on Saturday, January 11.
