Since ice skating is unsupervised, flags are used to indicate the ice conditions at the parks.
If you see a green flag on the pole, the ice is safe for skating at cleared spots. A red flag means that skating conditions are dangerous and the rink is closed.

You can also check skating conditions online at Rainout Line before you head out
