Due to equipment malfunction, the Good Cheer Rink at Harrison Park will not be able to open this evening as originally scheduled.
The City says in an update to a previous announcement the rink would open at 5, that staff are working to have it repaired and open as soon as possible.
They say, “We apologize for any inconvenience and will keep residents updated through our social media channels this weekend.”
