Riverside Park Ice Rink to Open This Weekend

The time has come for the Riverside Park ice skating rink in Oakmont to open.

Members of the Oakmont Recreation Board have announced the rink will be open to the public this weekend.

This is the second year the rink is installed in the park, however, it never opened last year due to warmer-than-normal temperatures.

Here's a look at the schedule:

Saturdays

• 9 to 11:45 a.m.—Free skate
• Noon to 2:45 p.m.—Family skate
• 3 to 5:45 p.m.—Free skate

Sundays

• 9 to 11:45 a.m.—Hockey free play
• Noon to 2:45 p.m.—Family skate
• 3 to 5:45 p.m.—Ages 12 and older

For the rink to remain open, however, there must be at least one adult volunteer willing to watch the rink—responsible for calling 911 in case of emergency, that there's no rough housing and that the appropriate age groups are using the rink. Anyone interested in volunteering can email regge63@comcast.net.
