I heard on KLRD radio this morning that an outdoor ice skating rink is planned for downtown Dallas. If this comes to fruition, we in Fort Worth have lost out again, even in a minor tourist draw as this one would be. And, once again, we in Fort Worth fantasize about something that Dallas seriously contemplates and proceeds to bring into reality. Maybe some Dallas promoter was reading our thoughts when we pinned them in this thread?

Yes, this is concerning. Because there's no way you can have an artificial ice rink in Dallas and in Fort Worth.

I saw a blurb on CBS11 news that the rink was to be half the size of a regulation hockey rink, and would be installed on the lawn at Klyde Warren Park the new one built over Woodall Rogers freeway. Apparently the rink itself was a gift (from a former owner of the Dallas hockey team?) The surface is not actually ice; it is a composite material that may or may not contain teflon, the news crew wanted to examine the material but was told none was available currently in North Texas. ... Oops, found a link to the story:

We could have a roller derby rink. A whole lot more fun.

Here is the S-T article by Dickson announcing the details of the Rink and the deal behind it:

It's hard to believe that outdoor ice skating can survive 100-plus temps in the summer, but I guess modern technology has the answer. Now I read awhile back that the drive-in theater was on a temporary 10-year lease in connection with the Trinity River Vision economic development strategy. Wonder if that will be the same scheme for this rink?
Posted 03 October 2013 - 12:54 PM
It's not going to be there in 100 degree heat. The article says it will open daily from Nov. 22 through Jan. 5.

The plan is to go with flexible businesses until "Panther Island" is completely in place. Developers want businesses that can be easily moved or removed as needed. The drive-in and ice skating rink fit that designation.

Utilizing vacant land with "temporary" businesses is undoubtedly a sensible economic strategy. I've never run a retail business (not sure a law practice counts), so I don't know how this unusual status affects their long-term planning. My thought is that loyal customers will follow the drive-in and ice rink wherever they go after being uprooted. But, 10 years or so is a long time to be in one place.

Wondering how the outdoor ice skating rink is doing in Panther Island? For sure, the timing could not have been any better than now.
Posted 09 December 2013 - 09:07 AM
It's been closed the past couple of days, but everytime I've visited it's been packed. It's just a little rink and the ice looks very choppy, but still a neat place. I hope it sticks around and gets relocated when the Panther Island project really starts to go.

Another one but just for a short time.
Crocket St. is a pretty cool location.
Another thing, remember the ice storm last winter? Sundance Plaza was frozen solid. I'm really regretting not bringing my skates. If it freezes this year, I will be sure to do it. I was skating on the streets here in Mansfield. Had a lot of fun. Not really an "on purpose" rink though.

Darn, I missed that by two days. I was walking around the West 7th street area earlier today.
Oh well, I've never ice skated before, so I probably would have spent the day landing on my rear end anyway.
