WAY BACK WHEN, us kids used to go skating on a frozen 0xbow river pond in our small town. Now, people are ending up in hospital after taking spills at the new skating pond in Riverside Park. Many people are wearing helmets, others are not. And somebody fell into a garbage dumpster before guard rails were installed. Those include wearing helmets, using objects for stability, skating in the designated direction, keeping kids close to adults.
