Due to the weather, the annual Spring Kick-Off Party will now be Saturday, May 26 from 11am-2pm at the courts. Come play tennis, register you and your kids for clinics, and buy early-season, discounted memberships. We’ll provide the grilled food and fun, but please bring a side dish or dessert to share. For more info, contact@nedtennis.org.
The east and center tennis courts are ready and the season starts this Saturday, April 21. Season and daily pass fee information can be found here. Season pass holders will get access to the ball machine and other equipment and the new bathroom at all times. Chain link fencing has been installed so no more balls flying through the nets. Be watching for upcoming events, programming for all ages, and kid’s camps.
Apologies for the April 11 post entitled “To the Ned Rink Ice Community: Recreational Survey & the Facts.” This was not a RINK Board-approved communique. The RINK Board is currently addressing many issues of ice-to-tennis & tennis-to-ice transition and will continue to work to create and support a facility that works best for the entire community.
–Hoag Holmgren, RINK President
Saturday March 3rd was the official end of the Ice season at the RINK. We tried to extend the season this weekend, but are having phone problems at the RINK and cannot get the word out about schedule changes. So we will not open on Sunday March 4th.
Thanks so much to all who helped make this an outstanding season! We will see you on the courts this summer and back on the ice next fall!
The rink will open on Saturday at 8:15am for adult dropin. There will be a morning session after that at 9:30. We will evaluate the ice at that point and update the phone message about afternoon sessions.
We will decide about Sunday morning on Saturday after we see how the ice holds up.
Stay tuned for more info on the extended ice season at the rink.
Quick reminder that the Nederland Ice Rink skating season is drawing to a close. The Ice Trolls have been very good to us this season and in fact there is some talk of trying to extend the season into the weekend ……. stay tuned!
