$2.5 Million Upgrade Approved for SCRF by Schenectady County
February 15, 2023 - The County Legislature approved a $2.5 million expansion and renovation project for the Schenectady County Recreational Facility (SCRF) at their meeting at Yates Elementary School last night.
Our county ice rink offers affordable entertainment for residents of all ages, and this capital investment will make it a more welcoming space. An updated and spacious building will attract more families and visitors from across the Capital Region and be an asset to our community for years to come.
The expansion plan includes the addition of 4,660 square feet of space for four new locker rooms, an additional changing room, expanded restroom facilities, and a new and larger front entrance. It also includes a new exterior modern facade, a new room for activities, and expands the parking lot.
Target construction/completion timeline: Summer 2024.
As part of the resolution, the County’s Recreational Facility would be renamed the “Schenectady County Ray Wemple Memorial Rink” to recognize Mr. Wemple’s years of service as the Vice President of the Schenectady Youth Hockey Association (SYHA) and commitment to the rink. Ray Wemple retired from the Schenectady Police Department in 1989 and was a long time Schenectady County employee.
