Get your skates and get out on that ice!

The ice skating rink is getting broomed today and is ready for skaters!

New photo! Outside temps are probably too cold to skate today. Also, I can bet the surface won’t be the smoothest since it was freezing while it was so windy out. Bringing a metal shovel to scrape before skate helps.

The ice skating rink is currently getting filled and should be ready to use tomorrow (1/24)!

When it’s 🥶freezy 🥶 outside skating isn’t far away! The rink is being filled! Remember not to disturb it during the freezing process.

Exciting news at the rink as Fall begins… The cracks in the concrete that have allowed water loss to occur in the filled rink have been repaired! A city crew of Dewey, Eric, and Mickey spent 2 days filling the large cracks with 450lbs of hydraulic cement!

Thank you so much Jefferson Parks & Recreation, City of Jefferson Iowa, Jefferson Matters: A Main Street & Chamber Community, we’re all looking forward to a super fun skating season!

Got in a quick skate before the light left completely tonight! Just don’t tell my orthopedic surgeon.... FYI: the rink lights aren’t working as of this post :(

2020 Update: Unfortunately, I timed my hip repair surgeries with skating season this year which means Rich and I are unable to care for the rink this season. If you have any questions about the rink contact the Greene County Community Center at 515-386-3412

Rink update! Even after all this snow, the ice is great. You might want bring a metal edged shovel and do a bit of scraping if you plan to skate. 🙂
