Outdoor rink in Dublin busy since opening
Jeff Heuchert
Since there aren't many of its kind
around, erecting an outdoor rink
was an easy decision for the Dublin
Lions Club - as long as weather per-
' mitted.
The Dublin Lions Club has provid-
ed an outdoor rink for area resi-
dents for the last six years, but due
to poor weather, was not able to pro-
vide one last year.
"Mother Nature did not cooperate
with us. If we had built a rink last
VIM
year in January, it would have been "We've had kids down there a lot.
destroyed," says club It's getting well used," he
added.
The rink, which is
situated behind the
pavilion at Lions Park,
across the street from
St. Patrick's School,
was constructed Jan. 21
and was opened for use
Jan. 25.
} Ryan says the rink
took two hours to prepare
and was flooded from water pumped

Be it last year's
absence of a rink, or
the distance to the
next nearest one, the
outdoor rink in
Dublin has been
"packed from 1 till 9
p.m." on weekends
and evenings, since it
was erected two weeks
ago, says Ryan.

He adds that it's been so busy that
one night last week a volunteer
couldn't even flood the ice when
they arrived around 11:15 p.m.,
since there were still 10 to 15 people
out using the rink.
And, Ryan notes, that's quite all
right. The rink has outdoor lights
which can be turned off and on by
anybody.
"You can skate all night if you'd
like," he says.
