Clearview Township says it has made the tough decision to close and stop the formation of outdoor ice rinks on public property.
In a news release, the township says in many surrounding communities, unsupervised outdoor rinks have unfortunately led to overcrowding and encouraged travel from other regions.
It says for those residents looking to create outdoor rinks on their own property, Clearview’s Firefighters have some advice:
Give the rink a good flood on a cold night.
Once the ice surface has been created, be sure to clear any snow off.
Use some warm water now and then to melt any defects and create a smoother ice surface.
