Ice Skating Rink Coming to JPL

I received this messge from the parks director yesterday. I’ll provide more information as I get it.

 

Eric,

We have been working with the Iowa Wild to encourage more skating/ice hockey in the metro area.  They are donating a rink to the City of Johnston to install and use this year.  This will just lay on a grass surface.  My thoughts are the commons there by the library represents the best site.  It has plenty of flat ground and parking adjacent to it.  I wanted to touch base with you to make sure that you didn’t have any issues with this location.  Let me know your thoughts.

Thanks,

John
