MATILLA — A new skating
rink in Umatilla is welcoming
guests just in time for the holiday
season.
The rink measures 2,900
square feet and can accommo-
date 50 skaters. Open through
February, it is on H Street
between the city hall/library and
Village Square Park.
Admission on weekends is $3
per person or $10 for a family
of four. These prices include a
skate rental.
On weekends, the rink is open
from 4-8 p.m. Fridays and from
noon-8 p.m. on Saturdays and
Sundays. It is closed for mainte-
nance from 3:30-4:30 p.m.
It is available to rent during
the week at the rate of $150 for
two hours. These reservations
are available Monday through
Thursday between noon and
8 p.m., and from 9-11 a.m. on
Saturdays. To reserve at time,
go to www.umatilla-city.org/
parksrec and click on “Facility
Rentals.”
WHAT’S IT MADE OF?
The rink is not made of ice —
it is a synthetic material made
from heat-pressed polymers.
This means water and electric-
ity are not required. According
to the city, the rink is composed
of approximately 144 sheets
of synthetic ice, each weighing
about 80 pounds. Maintenance
is minimal, and the lifespan is
estimated at 20 years. After that,
the polymer surface is 100%
recyclable.
