An Outdoor Ice Rink Would Have Worked Well This Year

Well, what about all that fracking money that is supposed to be pouring into the area?

Stuff costs money, and people don't want to pay what it costs to run these facilities.

I agree. Such a rink would bring more families downtown. It's also a shame the outdoor rink at Mill Creek Park was never fixed.

The city has a hockey rink inside the convocation center but we do not have an ice rink that is dedicated for use by the skating public on a day to day basis.  I still would like to see an outdoor ice rink built near or next to the convocation center.  This winter, for example, the outdoor rink could have been used continuously for the past few weeks.   Another suggestion would be to place an outdoor rink on a portion of one of the city's many downtown parking lots.

This could be in downtown Youngstown
