A group of residents in Belleville’s East Hill neighbourhood has come together to build a community ice rink in Robin Jeffrey Park.
Boards for the rink, at the corner of Bridge Street East and Bleecker Avenue, are already up and the group will start making ice once the temperature drops below freezing on a more consistent basis.
Lifelong East Hill resident River Barnwell-McCoy took the lead on organizing the rink and says his goal was to do something to give back to the community. Barnwell-McCoy has paired up with his girlfriend and former long-time Belleville Bearcats hockey player Payton Smith to help raise money and awareness.
Payton and River join Sean Kelly and Orlena Cain this morning on Mix97
