Dec 19, 2016

Iowa Wild and Wells Fargo Donates Public Rink To West Des Moines Parks and Recreation

DES MOINES, IA – The Iowa Wild, proud American Hockey League affiliate of the NHL’s Minnesota Wild, in conjunction with Wells Fargo and West Des Moines Parks and Recreation, announced a brand-new, outdoor ice rink available for public access beginning on Monday, Dec. 19 at 4 PM.  

“This is something we have wanted to do for a long time and plan on doing more of in the future throughout the area,” said Iowa Wild President Todd Frederickson. “We have wonderful parks in the Des Moines metro area that go relatively dormant for the winter. It’s our goal to bring them back to life by providing the community an opportunity to pursue an outdoor winter activity. We believe strongly in a healthy lifestyle, and being active in the winter is essential for the well being of our children and our community. Whether you are a novice or a pro, we encourage kids and adults to get outside this winter and go skating/play hockey at the new rink in West Des Moines Raccoon River Park.”

The rink is located at the Raccoon River Park in West Des Moines, IA. It has been donated in a partnership between the Iowa Wild and Wells Fargo to West Des Moines Parks and Recreation. It is free to the public and measures 80 x 40 (a regular hockey rink measures 200 x 85). The rink will be open as long as weather permits and the ice remains frozen.

“Wells Fargo and our 16,000 Iowa team members are deeply committed to our communities and supporting efforts to make them strong, diverse and vibrant,” said Don Pearson, Wells Fargo regional president. “We are thrilled to assist in bringing this new amenity to the citizens of West Des Moines and the entire central Iowa community.”
