There is one more rink in Drumheller that youth and adults throughout the valley will be able to enjoy this season.
A group of neighbourhood volunteers have stepped up to help take care of the rink at Newcastle Beach Park.
Last week, Town crews helped get the rink flooded. Ryan Sisson, Duane Bolin and Lance Lavie have stepped up to take care of the ice. It has been a number of seasons since there has been ice in the Newcastle rink.
This week it was smooth skating for youngsters. Sisson said the town has supported them with some equipment to maintain the ice, and they are looking for hockey nets to install.
The rink is in a picturesque part of the park in Newcastle. It has a paved base making for a smooth ice surface. Some of the boards however may need replacement.
In Drumheller there are volunteer maintained ice rinks in Midland, Rosedale, Nacmine and now Newcastle. The Rotary Club also supports a small children’s rink in the shadow of the World’s Largest Dinosaur in Rotary Park.
