In this paper, we study the regularity of the free boundaries of the parabolic double obstacle problem for Laplacian and fully nonlinear operator. The result in this paper are generalizations of the theory for the elliptic problem in {LPS} and {LP} to parabolic case and also the theory for the parabolic single obstacle problem in {CPS} to double obstacle case. New difficulties in the theory which are generated by the characteristic of parabolic PDEs and the existence of the upper obstacle are discussed in detail. Furthermore, the thickness assumptions to have the regularity of the free boundary are carefully considered.
