Volunteers met last Saturday 1/7/12 and started to build a skating rink at the Albermarle Playground. There are two other locations throughout the city that have ice skating rinks. One of them is at Newton Highlands Hyde Park and the other is at the Newton Centre Playground.

Thank you to all the volunteers who have contributed many hours to make this happen for our children. Now all we need is some cold weather to form some ice!

The ice skating rink at Albermarle Playground is up and running!

Huge thanks go to Pat's Ticket Center, Cabot's Ice Cream, and John M. Barry Boys and Girls Club and many other individuals for financial support. Additional thanks go to Ken Brown, Steve Mastromattei, Paul D'Amore, Steve Linsky and Normand Rousseau for their hard work building and then maintaining the rink, as well as the many other volunteers who lent a hand on rink building day. Lastly huge thanks to our Mayor!
