The winter season has ended early at North Park’s ice rink.
Allegheny County officials announced Tuesday that they shut down the outdoor ice rink for the remainder of the year because of mechanical problems with the cooling system.
All public skating and open-stick sessions have been canceled at the rink on Pearce Mill Road at North Park, which spans more than 3,000 acres in Hampton, McCandless and Pine townships.
The planned North Park Ice Show has been rescheduled to begin 7 p.m. Thursday, pending weather conditions.
Due to mechanical issues, the North Park Ice Rink is closed for the season. All public skating and open stick time is cancelled.
