STAFF REPORT
Wooddale Skating Rink
Size: 100' x 100'
No Warming House
Skating rinks are classified in two different categories of maintenance.
Our main area of concentration is the hockey rink -general skating rink
combination of which there are nine areas. Maintenance starts the Monday after
Thanksgiving, weather permitting. There are three areas without warming houses
that we flood and maintain which we call second class areas. The maintenance
procedure for the second class areas is to flood them starting some time in the
latter part of December or during Christmas vacation. If weather permits and
all of the first class rinks are in skatable condition, we then proceed on the
second class areas. If all weather conditions are ideal using 0 degrees
Fahrenheit as a good flooding condition, a rink at Wooddale Park would take
approximately two weeks of flooding with approximately 25 hours of actual
flooding time devoted to this area. After the ice is in a skatable condition,
we then sweep once a day and also flood approximately five times a week. In
looking at an ideal winter season if we would have the Wooddale rink skatable by
January 1, this rink would be skatable until approximately the 15th of February,
or 6 weeks. If we tabulate the cost of maintaining the Wooddale skating rink,
it would take 25 hours of ice build-up before the season starts, about 25 hours
of continuing ice -making for the six-week season, and approximately 25 hours of
sweeping:
75 hours x $12/hour = $900 cost to have a rink at Wooddale Park.
This is under perfect weather conditions --which means no real severe cold
weather and no build up of snow (4 to 10 inches) which creates more maintenance
hours.
