ICE SKATING AREA BEING PREPARED
LAWRENCE -With the numerous days of cold weather being experienced and
its forecasted continuance, the Lawrence Parks and Recreation Department
is preparing the ice skating area at the northwest corner of Buford M.
Watson, Jr. Park, located at 6th and Kentucky Sts.  Ice skating will be
available by week's end and will be free and open to the public.

Users are asked to cooperate by staying off the ice until it is ready.
The cold weather is necessary in providing a 3 to 4 inch thick base of
ice for safe skating.  As of Wednesday morning, water was being added to
the area and will take a period of time for ice to form and harden.  By
staying off the ice until it is hardened, it will prevents cracks, ruts
and other hazards for skaters.  

The department also encourages caution and safety to those who utilize
the area.

For more information on the ice skating area, please contact the
department at 832-3450.
