Topeka Ice Rink Opening Delayed Due to Design Changes
The opening of a new outdoor ice skating rink at Evergy Plaza in downtown Topeka, Kansas, has been delayed to late December or early January. Initially scheduled for early to mid-December, the delay is attributed to the addition of a metal canopy to the rink's design. According to Jim Parrish, chairman of the Downtown Topeka Foundation, the rink has been a long-standing aspiration for local leaders. The canopy, added midway through construction, aims to provide shade and enable the space to host events year-round.
