Community Skating 
'Derry Rink Update
Opening Day

Colder temps have finally arrived! We are a few weeks away from our projected opening day the week of December, 19th, just in time for the holidays!  Watch for the green flag flying on opening day. Weather Permitting. Look for updates here or on One Londonderry FaceBook page! 
The Londonderry Transfer Station is hosting a season-long skate swap. Donations of gently used ice skates of all sizes, as well as used hockey sticks and pucks, are greatly appreciated! Please bring these to the Transfer Station. Skates will be accessible and FREE to the mountain town community at the rink on occasion.

The 'Derry rink, 120' x 50' is installed behind Jake’s Restaurant, near the horseshoe and volleyball courts!  
A town ice rink provides the benefits of outdoor recreation and serves as a focal spot for the community. 
Kudos to the rink site leveling team (Chaves & Hunter Excavating), rink install team (Wantastiquet Rotary & 'Derry Rink Volunteers), rink flooding team (Phoenix Fire Company) and the One Londonderry Winter Festival Committee for getting the rink ready.

 Volunteers Needed!

To keep our rink smooth, fun, and fast, maintenance volunteers are needed. We are looking for rink volunteers for ice maintenance help from December-March. It's a breeze to resurface the rink with our Bambini and we have backup brooms and shovels.
