Most of the rinks in the area will have a public skate on weekends. Just check schedules at each one.

Plus they have recess at the rink where you can skate around and get more comfortable on your skates.

The rink I've found with the most public skating times available is the Fairfax Ice Rink. They have them nearly every day of the week, including weekends.
