About The Ribbon
The 1,000-foot long Ribbon is a paved, loop trail that is refrigerated in winter to provide 25,000-square-feet of ice skating surface with rolling hills and soft curves. It includes a 5,000-square-foot ice skating area called the Pond that is suitable for beginning skaters and events. Fourteen miles of tubing under the pavement supplies refrigerant to the surface, while a Zamboni ice resurfacing machine maintains a smooth skating surface.
In warm weather, The Ribbon transforms into a multi-purpose trial that will be free to use for roller skating, roller blading, kick scooters and balance bikes. The Ribbon is generously supported by the Hylant Family Foundation.
