Lindsay Ontario needs an outdoor hockey rink or 2! Other communities hours away have full-size outdoor rinks with boards, benches, lights and heated change area to put skates on. Lindsay Ontario has nothing even close or hasn’t even discussed about having an outdoor full size hockey rink. This town is a growing population of 20,000 people that would greatly benefit from an outdoor size rink. I have contacted the City councillor that told me that “There are no plans for a rink of the type you are enquiring about and in my time on council there have been no deputations asking for one.”

Elgin Park, or Wilson fields would be considered, but there’s many other parks that could definitely fit an outdoor size rink. Lindsay Ontario is a hockey friendly town and it would give more opportunity for kids and families a chance to play hockey that they would never get a chance to do due to the lack of ice time and $$$ at the local arenas. 

Let’s see if we can make this happen! Or at least get the City to start talking about it or consider it!
