Rockaway Roller Hockey Rink Will Begin Construction This Fall

A new roller hockey rink is coming to the Rockaways! New York Daily News reports that City Councilman Eric Ulrich provided $600,000 for the project, located on Shore Front Parkway, and construction is expected to begin sometime this fall. This rink will replace an existing rink on Beach 108th Street, which was damaged during Hurricane Sandy. Building the new rink was also delayed due to the storm. According to the News, “The new rink will feature an asphalt surface and lighting for use at night. Upgrades for the area around the rink include new drinking fountains and seating.” Residents and hockey players helped design this new facility.
