Ice Skating at Plainville Middle School

In a previous post I mentioned pond skating at the Plainville Middle School in Plainville, CT.  This past weekend, I tried skating there.  The conditions were poor.  There was a layer of snow-ice chopped up on the top of the man-made pond.  In order to improve conditions there needs to be either a rain followed the next day by below freezing conditions, or the town of Plainville to put a layer of fresh water on the pond.  Neither of which has happened at last check.

If you wish to go skating at the Plainville Middle School, I suggest doing a drive-by to check ice conditions before making the effort to skate at this location.
