Eishalle Ried im Innkreis remains closed: Mayor asks for support

in Ried im Innkreis, Upper Austria, the ice rink will remain closed this year. This decision follows the difficult financial circumstances that burden the operator situation. After all, around 10,000 visitors found their way to the ice rink every year to pursue popular recreational sports. But the increasing costs and stagnant income lead to the hall cannot open.

Mayor Bernhard Zwielehner commented on the situation and explains that the financial burden for the municipality is not portable. The ice rink was only open to a very limited extent in the previous year, but this winter there is no possibility to operate the system. This is particularly the same for many young people of a lost leisure opportunity, who would otherwise like to run.

Hopes for support from the BUND

Mayor Zwielehner has expressed hope that a solution can be found at cross -district level. He also asked the federal government for additional financial support. The price development affects not only the ice rink, but also other areas of the municipality, such as hospitals and care facilities that are faced with similar financial challenges.

The possibility of saving the ice rink or at least to open during the cold months depends on the willingness to work on various political levels. The situation remains disappointing and uncertain for the many skiers and sports enthusiasts. As long as no solution emerges, the ice rink remains closed, which significantly affects not only the community, but also the leisure activities of the citizens.
