Community Services
Emergency repairs
will begin this week
at the Oak Park Ice
Arena. The ice rink
has been closed
since April 18, due
to a compressor
failure that created
unsafe ice
conditions. The
repairs will take
approximately 3
weeks and the ice
rink is expected to
reopen in June.
The Oak Park Ice
Arena has been a
recreation resource
for the community
for over 40 years.
It is typically open
daily and hosts
approximately 30,000
users annually, for
a variety of uses.
The facility is
considered home to a
figure skating club,
a junior hockey
club, a senior
hockey club and
recreational skaters
and offers programs
to beginning to
advanced ice skaters
with private and
group lessons. The
Stockton Thunder, a
minor league
professional team,
practices at there
when the rink is
available. The
nearest ice skating
rinks are in
Roseville/Rocklin
and Dublin.
Without repairs,
the ice rink would
be in danger of
closing permanently.
Repairs will cost
approximately
$65,000. The funding
source for the
repairs is a fund
designated
specifically for
recreation use only.
