Don’t You Dare Put Your Blades Down Just Yet

The free ice skating rink at Monument Park in downtown Dexter is an anticipated wintertime activity village residents look forward to, but skating prematurely can damage the liner.

The new ice rink at Monument Park in the Village of Dexter’s downtown area has been installed. Cool news.

The other news isn’t uncool, but it will require patience. The ice rink isn’t quite ready for blades, as skating too soon can damage the liner, according to a notice on the Village of Dexter web site.

Village officials have said the  free skating rink generates more foot traffic downtown and helps create a sense of community because  it’s a fun place where people and families can hang out and engage in physical activity, village officials have said.
