Kids of all ages are invited to climb, slide and build snowmen in a mountain of snow made from ice shavings from Mediacom Ice Park. The Springfield Regional Arts Council partners to present Free Art Day with interactive art projects.
Several times a day, Mediacom Ice Park staff resurfaces the ice with a Zamboni, a machine which shaves irregularities and smoothes the ice. The Zamboni collects the shavings, which are normally dumped and allowed to melt. This week, Ice Park staff will allow the normal ice depth to nearly double on the West Rink, to about two inches. Staff will shave the ice back to its normal depth of 1.25 inches and haul the fluffy, white snow shavings outside for Summer SnowFest.
Summer SnowFest is FREE. Concessions are available. The event is sponsored by the Springfield-Greene County Park Board.
