  • The Simsbury Farms renovation project construction is now underway and is scheduled to be completed May, 2012. The following explains how it will impact the users of the Simsbury Farms Ice Rink.

    A major piece of the renovation project is the team room infill which will begin immediately. When completed, two new team rooms will be located where the guard and officials rooms are presently situated. This piece of the project is scheduled to be completed December 1. The two team rooms (A & B) currently in place in that location will continue to be available for use during the renovation with limited interruptions.

    The main building renovation is scheduled to be completed in May. The impact of this during the rink season will include restricted areas in the inside warming room during the renovation, but the bathrooms will remain open during the season. The upstairs will be closed to the public.

    Due to the renovation of the team rooms and main building, the main pool/rink parking lot will be closed for the rink season. Access to the rink will be available from the golf pro shop side of the rink. The Simsbury Farms main office will be located in a trailer on the golf pro shop parking lot. Admission to the rink will be paid at the trailer where a ticket will be given to those who are paying to rent skates. Rental skates will be picked up by surrendering that ticket at the outside warming room where skates will be housed.

    The Simsbury Culture, Parks and Recreation Department wants to thank the public for its understanding during this renovation project. The end result of the project will be an updated and more accessible building that everyone should enjoy using.
