If you’re a true local, you’ll agree that few things are as quintessentially Newport as a long day of pond hockey at the Lily Pond.
Nestled deep in the heart of Newport’s “5th Ward”, The Lily Pond (also known as Corcoran’s Pond) is one of the most scenic and beautiful spots in all of New England. It has served as the central hub of winter activity for generations of Newport families.
Skating on Lily Pond, Newport. RI. from Onne van der Wal on Vimeo.
As temperatures drop and the ponds freeze, make sure your skates are sharpened, your sticks are taped, and your warm clothes are ready. Bring a thermos of hot chocolate and come with a smile, because it doesn’t get any better than this in Newport, RI,
God bless the Corcoran family for their kindness, graciousness, and generosity in sharing this beautiful corner of the world with multiple generations of grateful Newport families.
See you on the ice! (Please respect the neighbors and pick up after yourselves)
