The Warinanco Park Skating Rink—a familiar old friend and landmark for Union County skaters since 1961—has undergone an extensive $7 million modernization and renovation that has doubled the overall complex space and transformed it into a year-round venue for skating and other activities.
Elements of the renovation/modernization include:
- A new state-of-the-art fieldhouse which will measure 11,000 square feet, and include a room for parties, a food concession area, a video game room, a retail pro shop and skate rental room;
- A new exterior seating area that will be covered, protecting patrons from the elements;
- The rink’s refrigeration building will be renovated;
- A new ice rink floor (covering the same foot print) including new refrigeration piping, LEED lighting and reflective ceiling which will be made from a material which will help prevent humidity build-up;
- New bleachers and flooring surrounding the ice floor as well as new boards, glass and nets;
- An all new gas fireplace–stone covered and running the height of the building;
- Team locker rooms will be remodeled.
