Hello fellow professionals,
I had a question if anyone allows ice skating on ponds in
any of your parks or golf courses. We have had a request from a prominent
local resident to allow ice skating, when weather permits, on one of our ponds
located in a City of Hamilton
owned golf course. Our staff has some concerns over liability and
safety. My questions are:
- Do you allow ice skating on frozen
ponds in parks or golf courses?
- If so, do you have staff work
during times the public uses it?
- Who checks for thickness to
make sure the ice is safe to skate on?
- If you do not allow ice
skating, have you researched the pros and cons and then decided not to?
- Has anyone allowed ice skating
and then decided it was not a good idea? If so, why?
Thanks, I would appreciate any feedback you may have.
Thank you for your time and Happy Thanksgiving to all of
you.
Sincerely,
Bob
