Outdoor Ice Rink Update
The City of Mendota Heights is working hard to open ice rinks! Mild temperatures have hindered the freezing of ice for the City?s skating rinks, but crews began flooding this week with hopes that cooler temperatures will allow for ice to build on the rinks.
Frost is not deep in the ground, so a typical flood with a large amount of water will not work like in past years. Ice will have to be built in smaller increments. Rinks could start opening in mid-January if sustained below freezing temperatures continue. More updates are planned as work progresses.
