City <br />crews have expanded the sheet ice by about 50% and the lighting has been <br />doubled. City crews are ready to start flooding a neighborhood ice rink at <br />Moldenhauer Park and Barrington Park. <br /> <br />As soon as Orono has sufficient ice thickness, City crews will start preparing an ice <br />oval and a sheet ice area. If Lake Orono skating is a success in 1994-95, the Park <br />and Recreation Commission should consider adding a warming house for the <br />1995-96 skating season. <br /> <br />11 .
