Ralston Family Skating Rink

I would like to add a family outdoor skating rink to the town of Ralston. Its location would be in the Old Meadow Park in Ward 3. People would be able to gather and experience outdoor ice skating right in their own backyard. In the spring, summer, and fall, people could roller skate, take lessons, and boogie down during open skate. This beautiful facility could offer the town and residents a lot of exercise and entertainment year round including open skating, rink rentals, and skating lessons. I see the skating rink as a great contact zone for the residents of Ralston. The family skating rink would encourage another way for residents to build relationships and friendships within the community in a safe, healthy environment. It would also help generate revenue as well. Weekend evening s’more bonfires would be a fun social element to add to the rinks’ offerings. Ideally, there would also be a restaurant/snack bar area on site for people to enjoy hot chocolate, light fare, snacks, and sweets.
