The Warrior Rink. Sharpening should be around $10

Seconding warrior. Pretty sure they just use a Sparx, but mine came out excellent last time I went.

The Reilly Memorial Rink at Cleveland Circle has skate sharpening. Not sure of the hours. Daly Ice Rink on Nonantum Road does too. Not sure about Warrior Arena at Boston Landing.

Most of those DCR rinks have a guy if you’re there at the right time.

REI at Landmark center has an ice skate sharpening machine, don't know when they are available to have the skates sharpened.

If you have hockey skates, then yes, I recommend any of the mentioned places. If not, beware that these places will not know how to sharpen figure skates and may get rid of the hollow on your blade which impacts spinning and other moves.

Beacon hill skate shop. In between Bay Village and Tufts medical center. Great local shop

Just have an idea of what a fair price is before going. I paid about double buying cheap skates there in 2020 (I was too new/dumb to know) and there are a lot of similar 1-star reviews

Pure Hockey down is Quincy is $7, but it's definitely out of the way
