Greenwich’s ice skating rink is located at Eugene Morlot Memorial Park on Sue Merz Way on a site shared with the Strazza Field, across Western Jr. Highway from Western Middle School.  The facility was built as an outdoor rink in 1971 and was designated as the Dorothy Hamill Skating Rink in 1976.  Incremental projects over the years added a roof, exterior walls and spectator seating.  The existing facility has a number of fundamental and critical issues, notably substandard ice size and inadequate, aging and non-code-compliant equipment, building systems and fixtures.  The Town intends to build a new, high quality rink facility on the property capable of serving Town users for the decades to come.

In 1966, the Town acquired the Electrolux Corporation property and existing structure which became known as the Eastern Greenwich Civic Center (EGCC).   Today, the EGCC is a pillar of the community, offering diverse programs across all age groups. Many local and nonprofit organizations utilize the facility for special programs, services, and events.

The building has been in almost constant usage for decades and as a result, it has been progressively deteriorating, with its replacement being part of the Town's Capital Plan.

The new proposed steel-framed building will be a single-story, 35,482 sq. ft. with masonry and glass exterior walls and will include three 1,000 square foot multi-purpose activity and meeting rooms, two 8,000 square foot recreational and event spaces, and administrative offices. The facility will be fully ADA compliant and will allow for program expansion.

Be a part of contributing to furnishing and outfitting the building with state-of-the-art equipment and amenities. For more information including naming opportunities relating to interiors of the Cohen Eastern Greenwich Civic Center.  See the Business Plan for details.
