PARKERSBURG, W.Va. (WTAP) -

The ice skating rink at Parkersburg City Park is set to open Friday night.

It will be open 7 to 10 PM on Fridays and 6 to 10 PM Saturdays.

Andy Hartleben is wanting it to be a safe and fun place for everyone.

Hartleben said, “We’re really going to put an emphasis on teen night for Friday night. Everyone is welcome, but we really want teens to come out. This is a safe place to hang out, it’s fun, and its a goofy synthetic ice rink, and it’s awesome. We’ll have a concession stand, and just a fun place to hang out.”
