2002/2003 Ice Rink Season
The City of Chanhassen's outdoor rinks will be open from approximately
December 14 through February 16, weather permitting. Flooding will begin the first
or second week in December, depending on the weather. The warming houses will
be open Monday through Friday, 4:00 - 9:00 p.m.; Saturday, 10:00 a.m. to
9:00 p.m.; and Sunday, 1:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. Portable trailers will be placed at
North Lotus Park, City Center Park, and Roundhouse Park. A permanent warming
house is located at the Chanhassen Recreation Center.
After last winter's warm weather and poor skating conditions, our department
reassessed our outdoor rink policies and procedures. As you recall, only locations
with warming houses and hockey/pleasure rinks were maintained. The decision was
made to concentrate on these main rinks because traditionally, they have had the
highest number of users.
According to Park Maintenance records from the 2000-2001 season, many of the
neighborhood locations with a pleasure rink did not have a lot of use. Data was
used from the 2000-2001 season because the City did not maintain the
neighborhood locations last year. The report stated that pleasure finks at
Minnewashta Heights, Pheasant Hills, Carver Beach, Meadow Green, Rice Marsh,
Chanhassen Hills and Sunset Ridge Park did not have a lot of use, and in most
cases, no use.
The City Park Maintenance crews are exerting a lot of energy for a product that isn't
getting much use. Staff is recommending that only the warming house locations at
the Chanhassen Recreation Center, City Center Park, Roundhouse Park, and North
Lotus be maintained for the upcoming season. Staff also recommends that pleasure
rinks at Minnewashta Heights, Pheasant Hills, Carver Beach, Meadow Green, Rice
Marsh, Sunset Ridge Park, and Chanhassen Hills Park not be maintained for the
upcoming season. Representatives from some of the above mentioned
neighborhood parks will be in attendance at the October 22 Park and Recreation
Commission meeting.
The City of Chanhassen · A growing community with clean lakes, quality schools, a charming downtown, thriving businesses, winding trails, and beautiful parks. A gmat place to live, work, and play.
Corey Hoen, Recreation Supervisor, has been busy contacting last year's fink
attendants, and over half of them have already indicated that they would like to
return for the 2002-2003 season. Corey has also received over 10 applications from
individuals looking for a position, so we are in great shape from a staffing
perspective.
If you have any questions, please feel free to stop by or call me at 952-227-1121.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff is recommending that warming house locations be maintained at the
Chanhassen Recreation Center, City Center Park, Roundhouse Park, and North
Lotus Park for the upcoming season. Rinks proposed for these locations would
include two hockey rinks and one pleasure rink at Chanhassen Recreation Center;
one hockey rink and one pleasure rink at City Center Park; one hockey rink and one
pleasure rink at North Lotus Park and one pleasure rink at Roundhouse Park. This
totals eight skating surfaces; all of which are lighted or receive "spillover" lighting
to supportskating after dark. Staff also recommends that pleasure rinks at
Minnewashta Heights, Pheasant Hills, Carver Beach, Meadow Green, Rice Marsh,
Sunset Park, and Chanhassen Hills Park not be maintained. This totals seven rinks
of which one (Chanhassen Hills Park) currently has the ability of supporting after
hours skating.

Dear Chanhassen Park Commission
We have been Chanhassen residents for the past six years, and recently moved
from Greenwood Shores to our current address on Wood Duck Circle. We have
two children, ages four and six, who enjoy Pheasant Hills Park. It has wonderful
playground equipment, is well maintained, and is well frequented by the
adjoining neighborhoods with a large compliment of young children, who along
with their parents, enjoy and appreciate its offerings.
We were further delighted during the buying process to hear that in past winters,
the City of Chanhassen created an ice rink in the field, adjacent to the
playground. ! have since discovered through conversations with neighbors and
Todd Hoffman, Park Director, that Pheasant Hills ]:ce Rink had been eliminated
from the Winter Schedule, based on lack of use.
This was curious to me, based on the young family demographics this
neighborhood, so visibly, displays. ]:t forced the question: ]:s it really possible that
with all these children about, don't these young families ice skate? So ]: began
asking my neighbors if they were interested in the return of a neighborhood ]:ce
Rink. The response, though not surprising to me, was overwhelmingly, if not
unanimously, in favor of its return.
]:n fact, in its absence, the adjoining block self maintained ice on a pond so that
ice could be made available for neighborhood children and their parents- that,
in my estimation, demonstrates need. Speaking from the position of somebody
who enjoyed hockey/skating through my college years, the availability of ice
while ]: was growing up was invaluable in countless ways to my physical and
emotional development. Based on this obvious need, and the immeasurable
benefit of providing this ]:ce Surface, my entire neighborhood, and ]: respectfully
and enthusiastically ask that you reconsider the elimination of our ]:ce Rink at
Pheasant Hills Park.
Sincerely,
Ted .1. Koltes
Chanhassen Resident

Hey Todd,
Unfortunately, I'm unable to attend tonight, based on a previous
commitment -
I'm hopeful that this iBn't a "One Shot" opportunity to restore the ice
program
at Pheasant Hills Park. If ever again possible, I would like the
opportunity to
voice our neighborhoods desire to skate this winter - I just wish it
wasn't
tonig~:t. In my absence, can the letter that I forwarded be heard tonight
- that
is basically what I had hoped to convey anyhow. To that end, I've come
to find
that in addition to ourselves (with two children of skating age), their
has been
other turnover in the immediate neighborhood - all of which are families
who
would like to take advantage of an ice surface there. Thanks again for
your
continued assistance and time - have a great day!
Best regards,
Ted J. Koltes
