Selectmen schedule public hearing on Quasi Park improvements after discussing temporary skating rink and lighting
Summary
The board reviewed design options for Quasi Park, including a temporary winter rink, lighting and phased playground adjustments, and set a public hearing for 5:00 on the fifteenth to gather community input on the plan.
The Rangeley Board of Selectmen reviewed a 60% plan for Quasi Park improvements and discussed a possible temporary winter skating rink, lighting strategies, maintenance and manpower needs, and alternatives that would limit the project’s impact on green space.
Staff and the engineer described potential rink sizes and phasing; board members raised concerns about winter grass damage, snow removal and staffing for yearly install/removal. The conversation included a suggestion of a contractor-supplied temporary rink system (an example cited as "EZRINK") that would reduce setup time and volunteer demands.
Lighting options — including motion‑sensor fixtures and timers — and the possibility of relocating the playground as a later phase were discussed to preserve green space while allowing a larger rink. The board voted to set a public hearing for 5:00 on the fifteenth to solicit detailed public feedback before finalizing design and funding plans.
