This
skating rink was constructed in 1908 by the
local streetcar company, the Helena Light & Railway Co. It was located about 1000' northeast of the Broadwater Natatorium.
The rink was created after the devastating floods of June 1908 necessitated blowing up a dam on Ten Mile Creek, just on the north side of the Broadwater Hotel, which was used to flood an area for skating.
Newspaper mentions of the rink as a going concern appear to end in 1914.. |
