The Nederland Ice and Racquet Park is located in beautiful Nederland, Colorado. It is a volunteer-run, volunteer-organized ice rink in the winter and public tennis courts in the summer.

In 2000, the Peak to Peak Healthy Community Project conducted a Nederland community survey that included parks and recreation questions. The most popular and requested "additional recreation opportunity" was a local ice rink, receiving nearly 40% of all requests. The Town of Nederland later adopted the Open Space, Trails, Parks and Outdoor Recreation Plan, where a primary goal was the development of an outdoor skating rink.

The Town of Nederland ("Gateway to the Indian Peaks") has always attracted people who value and participate in all types of outdoor recreation. The park provides new recreational opportunities to our community, serves as a meeting place for families, and provides a new way to teach children the joy of being outside.

There's a lot more to write about the how the park came to be, and the tireless volunteers that helped out...
