Warning:  Most mapping programs do not know how to deal with Massachusetts "roundabouts" (circles).  If you are following a direction and you come upon a "roundabout", proceed as if it was just a multiple street intersection.  In other words, if your directions say to make a left, and you encounter a "roundabout", look at the "roundabout as if it were the face of a clock and you were entering it at 6 o'clock.  The street nearest 9 o'clock is likely the street you were to turn left onto.  Obviously taking the street nearest 12 o'clock is considered going straight and the street nearest 3 o'clock is a right.

The rink with parking on top is a modern facility and you can park on top, walk down the stairs and get to either rink.  However, the lower rink is nothing more than a slab of ice and a place to play a game. The locker rooms are small but adequate but there are only two or three locker rooms, so during overlapping games, some team is relegated to locker room "A".  A wooden shed door on a "breezy" room that's not as good as the shed in your back yard, only holds about 5 people and doesn't have rubber mats on the floor. You're actually better getting dressed out in the rink. The boards are an unusual height, so be careful when you jump over. Watch your step when you walk. Many of the rubber floor tiles are missing, broken or have grit embedded in them.  Put your skates on at the last minute and make sure your skate blades don't touch the cement floor.  Better yet, don't take your blade guards off 'till you're on the ice.  The ice surface is poor and gritty.  You'll want to have your skates sharpened after skating on this ice.  Neither rink has concessions or a pro shop.
