Outdoor Ice Rink Volunteers Are Needed in Minnetonka

The following was released by the city of Minnetonka:

Since 2006, adult volunteers have allowed the city of Minnetonka to expand the operating hours at city warming houses beyond the regular operation schedule. More volunteers are needed for this season at Meadow, Covington, Spring Hill, Boulder Creek, Gro Tonka and McKenzie parks.

Volunteers must be at least 25 years of age and are responsible for opening and securing their assigned building, operating the rink lighting and building heating systems, completing required forms and regularly communicating with the Recreation Services Department. Volunteers are allowed to open their assigned warming house for extended use until 10 p.m. during days and times when the employee attendant is not scheduled. Because the warming houses are associated with outdoor ice rinks, the availability of ice and therefore volunteer hours is entirely weather dependent.

If interested in volunteering, or for more information, please contact the Recreation Services office at 952-939-8203, or email Dave Johnson at djohnson@eminnetonka.com. Application materials can be found on the Volunteer Opportunities page.
