SkiFreak Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 Last chance to skate in the Richmond oval: Last weekend for Olympic skating in RichmondBy: ctvbc.ca Date: Saturday Apr. 3, 2010 7:06 PM PT The public has a few days left to try their hand at an Olympic sport in Richmond, B.C. The speed skating oval is making some big changes, and come Tuesday the track used in the 2010 Games will be just a memory. On Saturday, one much-maligned Olympic tradition lived on -- standing in long lineups to get into a venue. Participants came out to the Richmond Oval at 6111 River Road to take a spin on the same ice that saw Olympic history made – including Christine Nesbitt's gold medal win in the 1000 metre skate. But next week, the facility will be overhauled into a sports, health and wellness centre. The track will be open to the public again on Sunday and Monday between 1 p.m. and 5 p.m., for a $2 admission.

SkiFreak Posted April 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 Once it's redone, will there be any skating in there at all? There's two hockey rinks going in as well as a bunch of other stuff like basketball courts and an indoor running track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
