The weather was more fall than winter, but that didn't stop crowds from lacing up the skates and hitting the ice Sunday afternoon in Jersey City.

Newport Skates, the only outdoor ice skating rink in Jersey City, is now officially open for the 2018-2019 season.

Admission costs $8 (Newport residents get half-price admissions with their residential ID cards), and skate rental is $7. Season passes and group rates are also available, as are private lessons and party packages.

The rink is open every day -- Monday to Friday from 4 to 9 p.m, on Saturday from 11 a.m to 9 p.m. and on Sunday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
