Thank you to everyone who donated time, money and vision during the creation of the Winthrop Rink and Town Trailhead.  The first winter season was a huge success with the help of dedicated volunteers, cold temperatures, high use and pass/rental sales beyond our wildest dreams.

We are now turning our attention to a full line-up of summer schedule:

Soccer camps
Gymnastics
Training camps
Private events

Please contact Tim at 996-4435, mvsasoccer@yahoo.com  for summertime rink/field scheduling.

Project Overview:

• 3.8 acres

  	Trailhead soccer facility

• New town trailhead with parking for 130 cars and ski trail access
• Long term easement for the Community Trail

• Lighting, water, sewer, and additional parking
• New building to house the Zamboni, restrooms, covered seating, and a skate rental concession

Is there more?
Yes, the Susie Stephens Trail being developed by the Town of Winthrop will wind through this site. From the trailhead parking area, walkers and bikers will have SAFE and pleasant passage to downtown on a new pedestrian bridge. This trail will extend south to the area around the Post Office. There are hopes of continuing this trail to the high school and elementary school in the future.
