Ice Rink Feasibility Study Community Presentation BROOKLINE RINK + RECREATION FACILITY FEASIBILITY STUDY COMMUNITY MEETING #1 JUNE 24, 2021 6-8PM AGENDA Welcome & Introductions History & Background of the Project What is a Feasibility Study KMDG Team Introductions & Project Goals Existing Conditions & Community Polling Facility Use Parameters & Community Polling Activity Programming Parameters & Community Polling Community Discussion & Feedback Next Steps 1. TEAM INTRODUCTIONS TEAM Mark Klopfer Jennifer Ng George Fantauzza Adam Meyerring Randy Lieberg Technical Joyful Ecological Exciting Multi-recreational Inviting PROJECT GOALS As a team, our approach will be grounded in these shared goals: 1. The feasibility study will support ongoing planning efforts, existing investments, and Climate Action initiatives. 2. The ice rink and future recreation programming will serve as a neighborhood and town-wide destination. 3. The project needs to serve a wide spectrum of use from the occasional weekend visitor to the hockey families. 4. The feasibility project should look to expand the ice rink’s current spring season. The project should look for opportunities to integrate with summer camps, and existing events and programming. 5. Create an engaging and inclusive process for the community. PROJECT TIMELINE 2.

What is your zip code? How often do you use the ice rink? Why do you come to the ice rink? Do you come to Larz Anderson when the rink is closed for the season? What activities do you and your family enjoy at Larz Anderson when the rink is closed? 3. FACILITY DESIGN PARAMETERS RINK FOOTPRINT COMPARISONS EXISTING OUTDOOR UNCOVERED RINK • The existing Jack Kirrane Skating rink at Larz Anderson Park. • It is nearly NHL rink size with smaller corner radii. RINK FOOTPRINT COMPARISONS EXAMPLE OF TYPICAL COVERED OUTDOOR RINK WITH SEATING, LOCKERS, MINOR SUPPORT SPACE • A typical outdoor covered rink footprint overlaid on the Jack Kirrane Rink for comparison.

If previous methods save 50% or more of that cost, it can add up to tens of thousands of dollars in savings annually. OPEN OUTDOOR RINK EXAMPLE WINTHROP, WA COMMUNITY RINK PROS: • Can have very nice facility with excellent amenities. • Can fit within architectural context of park and neighborhood. • Maintains traditional connection to nature. • Maintains views. • More cost effective for initial construction. OPEN OUTDOOR RINK EXAMPLE WINTHROP, WA COMMUNITY RINK CONS: • Even if refrigerated, still at mercy of elements. • Brookline misses avg of 12 days per year due to weather. • Increased maintenance costs for snow removal. • Ice quality much harder to maintain consistency. • Less comfortable for users. • Higher energy costs than semi-enclosed or indoors OPEN OUTDOOR RINK EXAMPLE WINNIPEG, MB CAMP MANITOU OUTDOOR HOCKEY FACILITY SEMI-ENCLOSED EXAMPLE TORONTO, ON GREENWOOD COMMUNITY RINK PROS: • Virtually no loss of use days due to elements. • No added maintenance cost for snow removal. • More consistent ice quality. • Can have attractive architectural feel. • More consistent ice quality than open rink. • Ability to protect spectators from elements. SEMI-ENCLOSED EXAMPLE TORONTO, ON GREENWOOD COMMUNITY RINK CONS: • Harder to maintain ice quality than indoors. • Higher energy costs than indoors. • Still susceptible to outside temperatures. • Only slightly less initial construction cost than indoors - roof construction tends to be more complicated and therefore, more costly. INDOOR EXAMPLE WEST FARGO, ND COMMUNITY RINK PROS: • No loss of use days due to elements. • No added maintenance cost for snow removal. • Highest ice quality. • Can have attractive architectural feel. • More consistent ice quality than open rink. • Maximum spectator protection from elements. • Highest value of investment compared to other rink types. • Maximum comfort for users INDOOR EXAMPLE WEST FARGO, ND COMMUNITY RINK CONS: CONS: • Highest initial cost • More likely to impact natural setting of park • Larger footprint • Separation from nature due to enclosure IMPORTANCE OF NATURAL LIGHT FAIRFIELD, CT SACRED HEART UNIVERSITY ARENA • Reduces energy requirements. • More enjoyable atmosphere. • Controllable with technology. • Unique feature in ice arenas. IMPORTANCE OF NATURAL LIGHT GREENWICH, CT - DOROTHY HAMILL RINK DESIGN COMPETITION • Reduces energy requirements. • More enjoyable atmosphere. • Controllable with technology. • Unique feature in ice arenas.

    COVER ART The cover art, “Timeless Images,” by Allan Houser (1914–1994) was sculpted in bronze and measures 46 1/2 inches x 21 inches x 10 inches. During his lifetime, Houser produced nearly 1000 sculptures in stone, wood and bronze, and he emerged as a major fig- ure on an international scale. Houser’s work has been featured in gallery and museum exhibitions throughout the United States, Europe and Asia for five decades and he received honors such as the National Medal of the Arts from President George Bush in 1992. His first major marble carving was “Comrade in Mourning,” a commis- sioned work completed in 1948 as a memorial to Native American students from the Haskell Institute in Lawrence, Kansas, who died in World War II. This renowned artist of the American Southwest left a legacy for future generations. His mediums have included everything from charcoal and pastel drawings to acrylic, tem- pera, casein and watercolors. As a sculptor, Houser continued a lineage that could be traced to the massive, expressive figures of Auguste Rodin and Gaston Lachaise. N ATIVE A MERICAN C ONTRIBUTIONS TO W INTER S PORTS ©2001 SLOC.

  • Indigenous Long–Term Participant Development Pathway
    Long–Term Participant Development Pathway 1.2 Long–Term Indigenous Sport for Life ABORIGINAL SPORT CIRCLE Preface This document presents a roadmap for developing sport and physical activity among First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples. The Indigenous Long-Term Participant Development Pathway is a reference for those who work with Indigenous participants in sport and recreation. The Indigenous Long-Term Participant Development Pathway has grown out of the understanding that mainstream pathways for sport development do not necessarily align with Indigenous needs or experiences. As such, the Indigenous Long-Term Participant Development Pathway tries to address that gap by outlining the key elements that need to be considered when planning, developing, and implementing programs for and with Indigenous peoples and Indigenous communities. Indigenous peoples across Canada live diverse some cases, helps them to engage in more appropriate experiences. For instance, nearly half of First Nations activity during their free time while they find their way peoples live off reserve in towns and cities. Some First in the world. Nations migrate back and forth between the city and their reserve, and this poses unique challenges for In the Truth and Reconciliation Report (2015), sport athlete development. As well, while some Indigenous and recreation are identified as tools for social peoples are moving up the socio-economic ladder, development to improve the health and wellbeing of many still are not. Many face a disproportionate individuals and communities. This is the underlying level of poverty, lower educational outcomes, health rationale for this resource – to save lives and to build problems, substance and alcohol abuse, and other healthier Indigenous peoples, who contribute to issues.
