Ice Skating Glides Into New Orleans

Kelley Crawford
Figure skater Sarah Zanolli is one of the founders of Penguin Ice Skating in Kenner.

The New Orleans Metro Area just added another amenity to its ever-growing list of attractions: an ice skating rink. The rink is located in Kenner, and it was founded by professional figure skater Sarah Zanolli. Sarah has teamed up with hockey players Deniz Guderen and Onur Pinar to bring ice skating culture to New Orleans in an ecologically sustainable way. She invites NolaVie’s Kelley Crawford to the brand new rink to learn more.
