The new pool is pictured below In the winter Logan Park offers an ice skating area with free loaner skates. These skates are on a first-come/first-served basis, but we have never had an issue finding the right sizes. They also have at least two hockey rinks set up. All rinks are kept up in very good condition. The park is not too far from Spyhouse Coffee and several restaurants, including Broadway Pizza, making it a nice park to include in a combo-outing.
