The Park Commission does not feel that Orono is in a position to provide the quality of ice maintained by the City of Wayzata or Woodhill Country Club due to the amount of personnel hours needed to keep the ice at a high quality. The goal this year will be to improve the ice quality at Hackberry and Casco Point ice rinks. 1 J
