IOWA WILD AND MARSHALLTOWN ANNOUNCE NEW COMMUNITY RINK IN CARLISLE
Dec 10, 2024DES MOINES, Iowa – The Iowa Wild and MARSHALLTOWN today announced a partnership that will bring a community ice rink to Carlisle, Iowa, this winter. MARSHALLTOWN will serve as the presenting sponsor of the team’s Community Rinks initiative during the 2024-25 season and support the installation of a rink at Scotch Ridge Nature Park in Carlisle.
“We are excited to bring an 12th rink to Central Iowa through the Community Rinks program,” said Allie Brown Korinek, Iowa Wild Vice President of Business Operations. “Over the past eight seasons, the Iowa Wild have committed to growing the game of hockey throughout the state of Iowa. We look forward to bringing the opportunity to skate outdoors to the city of Carlisle.”
The Iowa Wild unveiled the first community rink, located in Raccoon River Park in West Des Moines, in December 2016. In the following years, the program expanded to include 11 rinks in total, located in Altoona, Ames, Ankeny, Grinnell, Indianola, Johnston, Marshalltown, Newton, Urbandale West Des Moines, and Waukee. Opening dates and maintenance updates for the Central Iowa community rinks are available on each community’s parks and recreation website. Rinks are free to the public.
“As we gear up for our second year with the Iowa Wild Community Rinks program in our hometown of Marshalltown, we are thrilled to support the opening of the 12th rink in Carlisle,” said Joe Carter, President and CEO of MARSHALLTOWN. “This program is all about bringing communities together, enjoying the outdoors, and creating lasting memories with friends and family, a tradition we’re proud to continue through our partnership with the Iowa Wild.”

“We're excited to partner with the Iowa Wild to bring winter recreation opportunities to Carlisle,” said Dan Carver, City of Carlisle City Council Member. “Over the last few years, our city has been working hard to offer a variety of programming to our citizens so they can be active and moving. Now, we can provide the ice skating enthusiasts in our community with something to do right here at home. The new rink will let people who know how to skate do something they love without having to travel far and will help others, who maybe haven't had the chance to ice skate, try something new. Thank you to the Iowa Wild for helping Carlisle find new ways to make our town a great place to live and play.”
A grand opening ceremony and ribbon cutting will be announced at a later date.
