History of NedRink

In 2000, the Peak to Peak Healthy Community Project conducted a Nederland community survey that included parks and recreation questions. The most popular and requested "additional recreation opportunity" was a local ice rink, receiving nearly 40% of all requests. The Town of Nederland later adopted the Open Space, Trails, Parks and Outdoor Recreation Plan, where a primary goal was the development of an outdoor skating rink.

The town of Nederland ("Gateway to the Indian Peaks") has always attracted people who value and participate in all types of outdoor recreation. NedRink will provide new recreational opportunities to our community, serve as a meeting place for families, and provide a new way to teach children the joy of being outside (especially in winter).

There's a lot more to write about the how the park came to be, and the tireless volunteers that helped out, but since we're currently pretty much exhausted with the recent push to get the park open, we'll have to wait a bit to get around to documenting this.
