The Delco Rink, Delaware County’s pop-up ice skating rink, opened for business on Thursday, December 1st, at Harrah’s Philadelphia Casino & Racetrack, located at 777 Harrah’s Blvd in Chester, Pa. The 60-foot by 100-foot Delco River Rink is located at Harrah’s main valet entrance.
Presented by Visit Delco and Harrah’s Philadelphia, the rink was officially dedicated on Tuesday, November 29th, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by: Delaware County Council, executives of Harrah’s Philadelphia Casino & Racetrack, Flight Entertainment, members of Chester City Council, other officials and members of their families.
This is the sixth pop-up rink opened by Flight on Ice in 2022. Jon Schaffer, president of Flight Entertainment said, “Building and operating outdoor ice skating rinks are a high undertaking for us but working with like-minded partners with a similar vision from the County motivated us to bring our concept to Chester this year.”
Flight on Ice will be looking at the site this season to determine if the ice rink should become a year-round permanent fixture at Harrah’s with the possibility of adding a roller rink as well, Schaffer said.
