Due to the City’s size and built-out nature, open space and <br />parks are limited. The City’s three main parks, Central, Emerald, and Silver Point, are currently at <br />capacity. Any consideration of new park amenities would likely require modifying or removing an <br />existing amenity. The City’s ice rinks have been a topic of interest as an amenity to explore further. The <br />purpose of this discussion is: <br />Establish a cohesive understanding of how the ice rinks are currently utilized. <br />Discuss the feasibility and interest in modifying the existing ice rink system. <br />If modifications are preferred, identify emerging priorities. <br />Staff recommends that Council establish a consistent position on ice rinks in preparation for future <br />conversations with external stakeholders. <br />Ms. Morello reviewed the current facilities at Emerald Park, Central Park, and Silver Point Park. Each <br />facility includes one warming house and 2 sheets of ice at each park, one serving as a hockey rink and <br />the other as a pleasure rink. <br />3
