The Blue Cross RiverRink IS NOW CLOSED After fourteen years on Philadelphia’s waterfront and the only outdoor ice skating facility in the Philadelphia area, the Blue Cross RiverRink at Penn’s Landing has announced another record breaking season. The mild winter has meant an extremely successful season with a dramatic increase in attendance. The Blue Cross RiverRink will close for the season on March 2, 2008.

Fighting the winter doldrums can be tough for any family in the Northeast region, and the Blue CrossRiverRink was “a healthy way to enjoy winter.” Throughout the season, the marketing efforts encouraged families to get off the couch and enjoy the fresh air and health benefits from ice-skating. Since health and well being is a topic on everyone’s minds these days, the message proved effective with more than 55,000 skaters crossing the ice this season.

“With more than 225,000 visitors to the facility this season, the continued success of the Blue Cross RiverRink proves it remains a vital component of the economic development engine of this region,” said Joseph Brooks, acting president of Penn’s Landing Corporation. “With a perfect view of the majestic Delaware River and the mighty Ben Franklin Bridge, ice-skating at the Blue Cross RiverRink is a great way to get the whole family outdoors to enjoy fresh air and healthy wintertime fun.”

The fifteenth anniversary season for the Blue Cross RiverRink will open on November 28, 2008. Please visit www.riverrink.com for more details.
