Past Projects

![Winthrop Rink – Multi-Sport Court Surface]()
2024 — MULTI-SPORT COURT SURFACE
The Winthrop Rink’s concrete surface was great for making ice on in the winter. But it was slick in the non-ice months, flooded when there was rain, and was hard on the knees. A modular flooring system resolved all of that, making the Winthrop Rink a haven for dryland arena sports in the Spring, Summer, and Fall. Funding support by the Town of Winthrop’s LTAC fund, Give Methow donors, and the Winthrop Rink’s own investment from it’s capital improvements fund. Watch the video.

2022 — NEW DASHER BOARDS
The rink’s original board system was a 20 year-old hand-me-down whose fiberglass structure was splintering and falling apart. New dasher boards and safety glass improved the safety and playability of the Winthrop Rink. Funding support by RCO Youth Athletic Facilities grant program, Town of Winthrop LTAC funds, Okanogan County LTAC funds, Give Methow donors, and the Winthrop Rink’s own investment from it’s capital improvements fund.

2021 — VINYL UNDERLAYMENT
Did you know ice rinks paint their ice white? We used to, too, but when it melted the paint residue got everywhere. So we raised money to purchase white vinyl underlayment, complete with cool graphics! Funding support by Town of Winthrop LTAC funds, Okanogan County LTAC funds, Give Methow donors, and the Winthrop Rink’s own investment from it’s capital improvements fund. Watch the video.

![Winthrop Rink – Zamboni]()
2018 - ZAMBONI
For 20 years, the Winthrop Rink relied on a modified tractor to resurface its various ice surfaces. A new Zamboni made for more reliable ice making to create a fantastic skating experience. Funding support by Town of Winthrop LTAC funds, Okanogan County LTAC funds, Give Methow donors, and the Winthrop Rink's own investment from it's capital improvements fund.
