THOMAS JAMES KNOX RINK - OPENING SUMMER 2018
Alum Creek Park South, 535 Park Meadow Rd.

The Thomas James Knox Rink will serve the Westerville community by offering a central location for youth to be introduced to outdoor hockey as a team sport, providing a place for community programming to develop the techniques of players of all ages and creating a space for current players to sharpen their skills.

Boys and girls ages 6-14 will have the opportunity to participate in the Street Jackets program in partnership with the Columbus Blue Jackets. Certified program specialists will work with young athletes to inspire leadership and promote fair play for all ages and abilities. The safety and development of individual athletes are at the core of all Westerville Parks and Recreation sports programs.

Skill development will focus on key fundamentals, including:
• Shooting
• Passing
• Stickhandling
• Goaltending

The rink will also host opportunities for high school leagues and open skate times for all ages.
