So Cool This Summer
Come join the cool skaters...hockey, figure skating, ice dancing, or just learning, it's all too cool!
If you didn’t notice, it has been HOT, HOT, HOT outside. Even with the break in the over-100-degree days, a walk outside for exercise is not cool. It seems we are perspiring just walking to the car!
There is a solution. It is cool-really cool! Get inside for you fun and exercise. I often tell people “I work in an ice box!” and that has more than a bit of truth to it. Brentwood Recreation Center host the most wonderful ice arena. It is not a new-fangled building. It is not publicized all over the world. It is an amazingly family-friendly place to spend an afternoon!
People come to skate from as far as Edwardsville and Shilo, Illinois; Famrington and Jefferson City, Missouri and as close as just down the street. They come because this is a great place to skate. They come because it is a good place to learn. They come because it is a cool, fun place to be.

I enjoy watching skaters ages 3 to 93 (really) spend their summer days enjoying the cool. Whether you are a complete novice or you have skating skills that are professional level, it is a great time of year to lace up the skates. I hope we’ll be sharing the ice soon.
