Skating Rink Constructed (1923)

The park board is now fixing up the old high school site on America avenue between Sixth and Seventh Streets to be used as an ice skating rink this winter. A hockey rink and a skating rink will be constructed this winter and for next summer there will be lawn tennis courts, places for quoit pitching and kittenball courts. One corner of the block is to be landscaped with shrubbery and flowers and it likely that a few swings for the children will be installed. A warming house is to be erected for the skating rink and there will be an officer in charge. (Oct 17, 1923)
