The Village of Watkins Glen is asking residents and local businesses for feedback on the future of the seasonal ice-skating rink at Clute Park.

The rink has been a popular part of Clute Park’s improvements and a favorite for many in the community.

Village officials are now seeking public input to help determine whether the ice rink will continue as part of the community’s seasonal recreation offerings.  A link to the survey is here
