Hi Neighbours!

Rink activity will start soon! ❄️⛸️

If you are interested in helping out with flooding and preparing the rink please send us a message!

You will notice our rink got some upgrades. We now have boards and fencing! This will make it much safer for people walking by, putting on their skates and people who are sliding.

We can't wait to see you at the rink. Stayed tuned for building hours. ⛄
