IJsbaan (Icerink) Ruimzicht

 

Wilhelmus van Kuijk created an “IJsbaan” (Icerink) at the farm where people could iceskate for a small fee. This “IJsbaan” was first opened in 1937 and the last mention I could find in the newspaper was in 1956. It was 10.000 M2, lighted in the evening and there was music. The entrance fees for adults where 25 cents, for children 15 cents during the day and in the evening 35 cents.

If you have any additional info, photos or documents on it (facts, photos of videos) please contact me through the contact form.
The only information about this “IJsbaan” is found in old copies of the newspaper “Utrechts Nieuwsblad”. The articles are ordered from old to new
