ICE SKATING RINK First Skate in 2012

VILLAGE OF BRIARCLIFF MANOR RECREATION DEPARTMENT LAW MEMORIAL PARK ICE SKATING RINK First Skate in 2012 Pre Freeze View from the Law Park Pavilion 2017 2018 INFORMATION PACKET

THE CONCEPT: The Village installs the rink system to provide a safe, winter time skating area for the enjoyment of our residents. It is located inside Law Park Tennis Court #4, which provides a fenced in, level surface featuring lights for night skating. The rink replaces the Law Park Pond as our official skating area and is a vast improvement over the pond which rarely froze enough to provide safe conditions. Only 4 5 inches of ice are needed on the NiceRink, whereas the pond required a solid 6 inches of ice before we would deem it safe for skating. The rink operates unsupervised, with the expectation that our residents & their guests will follow the posted guidelines and rules that have been established in consultation with the Recreation Advisory Committee and the Village s insurance carrier. PERMIT REQUIREMENT: We ask all residents wishing to utilize the rink to buy in to the concept and support this offering by purchasing a 2017 18 seasonal Ice Skating Permit for each member of their family that may want to skate this winter. Our permit system is simple and VERY inexpensive. The seasonal permits are $5.00 per person for Village residents; and $10.00 per person for School District residents and Guests. Purchasers will be issued a small, plastic dog tag style permit that we ask you to wear when utilizing the rink. Tags can be attached to the zipper of your coat, or you can even put it through the laces on one of your skates to make sure it isn t lost. Lost tags will only be replaced with an additional fee. Wearing a valid tag, visible to other skaters and staff, not only shows that you have properly supported the program, but it provides a means for you, our tag holding residents, to help us regulate use by enabling you to see whether or not other skaters are valid participants. The Village made this investment for the enjoyment and safety of our residents. The last thing we want to see is a mob of non residents descending upon the rink and hampering the enjoyment of those who the rink is intended for. There will not be a skate guard or rink attendant on duty, but we do intend on using part time staff members, Recreation Advisory Committee members and volunteers to periodically monitor the rink and its users. Resident Tags will be Blue BMSD & Guest Tags will be White 2017 2018 2017 2018 The Recreation Advisory Committee and the Recreation Department encourage you to enjoy the rink and don t hesitate to report your observations, suggestions, complaints and ideas to us regularly. All policies, rules, schedules and procedures are subject to adjustment, so share your thoughts with us. Please send emails to Advisory Committee Chairperson Georgina Gualdino at ggualdino@briarcliffmanor.org and Superintendent Henry Jamin at hjamin@briarcliffmanor.org. You may also call the Recreation office at 941 6560.

The ice will be periodically resurfaced with fresh water by the Department of Public Works; however, participants will be welcome and permitted to perform the routine maintenance task of shoveling off accumulated ice shavings/snow as needed. Several wide push shovels will be available on site for participant use. Please use these shovels safely and only for their intended purpose.
