The Division I team hosts Valley Stream on Saturday, Aug. 7 for their next meet. The Division IV Team travels to the Parkwood Pool in Great Neck.

Pool #2 will remain closed until the completion of the Division I swim meet.

While the Recreation Department is still in the process of completing construction on the second Roller Hockey Rink, Rink #1 is essentially complete, and is now open for use by residents.

This rink, located at the south end of Community Park, has the boards and fencing installed, and two new hockey nets are in the rink. The asphalt surface will receive a coating of "street ice" to make the surface smoother and more skateable. This work will be done once Rink #2 is complete, so that the Recreation Department will not have to close down the entire facility at one time.

Additionally, overhead lights will be installed early this fall, so that the facility will be available for use during evening hours during the fall and winter.

It is anticipated that there will be a series of clinics and leagues offered at the Roller Hockey Facility, and a grand opening ceremony is planned for later in the year, when the remaining work is completed on both rinks. Since there continues to be a demand for roller hockey even during the summer, Rink #1 is being made available at this time.

The Roller Hockey area is open and supervised during the summer hours from noon until dark seven days per week, and the rink is available on a first come, first serve basis. All skaters must wear helmets at this location, and follow the directions of the Recreation attendant on duty at the facility.
