[ARCHIVED] Outdoor Rink Flooding has Started!

Colder temperatures are finally on the way and the Buffalo Parks and Recreation Department wants to thank everyone for their patience while we start the process of flooding our outdoor rinks at our park locations. Flooding of the rinks is a slow process, and our parks crew has been busy trying to get the rinks open as soon as possible. 
Please stay off the rinks during the flooding process. When residents try to skate on the rinks before the ice is ready it delays the process of getting the ice in condition to open the rinks. 
We will post a notice on our website and social media locations when the rinks are ready for skating. At that time, you will notice that the nets will be placed at the rinks and the lights are on from dusk to 10:00 p.m.
