Roosevelt City has announced that the outdoor ice rink is now open. The Roosevelt City Parks Department puts in some serious efforts in very cold temperatures to get the ice rink setup, filled , frozen and smoothed out thanks to the use of a home made mini zamboni. The rink adds a little more fun to the winter months but the public is asked to please remember that maintaining the ice rink takes a lot of work. Remember to always wear skates on the ice (sneakers on the ice is not good) and keep sleds in the snow and off the ice. The city will be hosting the annual New Years Eve Ice Skating Celebration on December 31st. The rink is at Constitution Park and will be open all day. Ice skating is free. There is no skate rentals at the park so bring your own and there will be free hot cocoa from 5pm to 6pm. There will be fireworks at 6pm.
