Rink Recap for 2020-2021 <br />• On December 11, 2020 the parks department started flooding our rink <br />flooding at Central Park, Ramsey Elementary, and the Affinity sight across <br />from City Hall. <br />• After around a week and a half we had to suspend flooding around the <br />clock due to warm temperatures that exceeded 40 degrees. <br />• With snow, warm temps, and the holiday it pushed our start time off until <br />January, 8th 2021. <br />• On March, 1st 2021 the decision was made to close the rinks for the season. <br />Due to Covid-19 the parks department installed cough barriers at Central Park and <br />Ramsey Elementary. Extra picnic tables were brought out to each of the facilities <br />so the rink attendants could keep a 25% maximum capacity inside the warming <br />houses while still allowing people to lace up skates outside. Extra masks, <br />disinfectants and sanitizers were also readily available for rink attendants and <br />patrons if needed. <br />Rink numbers were expected to be low due to the late start to the rink season, <br />and limited warming house capacity. Staff notice that the rink at the Affinity sight <br />did not get used. Staff also noticed several rink patrons using the rinks during the <br />day that would not end up being tallied by the rink attendants. Central Park had a <br />total of 1,612 patrons and Ramsey Elementary had 922 patrons for a grand total <br />of 2,534 people for the 2020-2021 season. <br />
