Meeting to Discuss Dek Hockey Rescheduled for May 30

Oakmont Borough officials will get together at the end of the month to discuss the installation of a dek hockey rink at Riverside Park.

Council has teamed up with the Pittsburgh Penguins Foundation to build the rink at the park. Officials approved an agreement with the foundation earlier this month.

A meeting, which had been scheduled for next week, now will be held on May 30 at 7 p.m. at the borough building. Council, members of the rec board and school district officials are expected to attend to iron out last-minute details.

The rink at the Oakmont park is expected to be located on the upper field (where the baseball field closest to the park and parallel to Riverview High School currently sits). The baseball field will be shifted toward the center of the field to make room for the dek hockey rink.

Officials wanted some questions regarding space and safety answered before authorizing the borough engineer to draw up a final site plan.

The borough rec board is fundraising to help offset the cost of the new rink. For more information, click here.
