Donegal’s first ice-rink has got off to a sliding good start!
Century Ice, beside Century Cinemas in Letterkenny, held an opening party last Saturday.
And since then the numbers have started to climb very n-ICEly.
Owner Mark Doherty said the rink caters for al levels from beginners to more advanced skaters.
“We have had people who have never been on an ice rink before to people who look right at home on the ice because they have done it before.
“We cater for all levels and the rink itself can comfortably hold around 60 people at any one time.
“It can be booked for private parties and even by individuals if they wish,” he said.
The rink is open every day form about 1pm until 9pm until September.
There are also special balancing aids in the shape of penguins to encourage the little people to get onto the ice.
And for the thirsty or hungry skater, there is also a snack bar on site.
“We haven’t done any official launch yet but it’s amazing how word of the rink has spread by word-of-mouth.
“Now that it’s going to be on Donegal Daily, I’ve no doubt everyone will hear about us,” laughed Mark.
