The Mercer County Ice skating rink is currently closed due to a coolant line break.
The coolant is how the ice stays frozen, yes even in the cold of winter a series of coolant lines that run under the entire rink along with a series of pumps is what keeps the rink ready for skating and fun.
The pump shut down when the leak was detected as it is designed to do according to an article (NJ.COM) The ice has not been able to fully freeze much to the disappointment of the local high school hockey teams who will have to reschedule practices and matches until the leak is fixed It is amazing that even in freezing temperatures coolant systems are necessary!
That beats falling through the ice, or pulling your child out of one.
On what some may call “the bright side” the below freezing temps and snow have shut down the schools and cancelled practices anyway so the kids get snow days and puts the games and practices in to the built in makeup days already allotted for weather situations.
According to park directors the parts have been ordered and the repairs will be done in house.
Good luck on the repairs and to the teams waiting to practice!
Happy Snow Days!
