KENOSEE LAKE - The Village of Kenosee Lake says the final touches to their outdoor skating facility have begun.
Concrete has been poured, which will provide a base for the hockey ice and make it available for use all year round.
Working together since 2017, the village and the Moose Mountain Lions Club have had a goal of providing and promoting green space at Kenosee. At that time, they tore down the existing structure.
In 2018, a building was constructed that housed both home and visitor dressing rooms, washrooms, and a room to store a Zamboni, which was purchased from the Village of Kennedy seven years ago.
The construction of the skating rink started last fall with the regulation ice surface fully boarded. This winter will be its second year of operation. Outdoor lighting has also been installed.
Ed Plumb is the mayor of the Village of Kenosee Lake.
A final grant in the amount of $222,468 was secured by the village. This has allowed village council along with the Moose Mountain Lions Club to see the finishing touches being put on the park area. The facility has now been formally named Mystic Park.
“Village council has really appreciated the support we have received over the years to complete the project. Thank you to the Moose Mountain Lions Club and the many businesses and private individual donors,” said Plumb.
“The vision of the Village of Kenosee Lake has always been to build an all-season recreational facility which can be used for various activities including weddings, dances, and other functions including possibly pickle ball. It is a welcome addition to our community.”
