Nassau County Legislator Carrié Solages (D – Elmont) joined with New York Islanders owners Jon Ledecky, John Collins, and Lou Lamoriello, as well as state Sen. Leroy Comrie, state Assemblywoman Michaelle Solages, and their colleagues in government in celebrating the grand opening of The Park at UBS Arena in Elmont on Friday, Dec. 29.
During the event, Solages and his son Gabriel explored The Park’s amenities, which include carnival games, shops, and two outdoor pond hockey rinks that will host public skate sessions, ice skating instruction for youngsters, pond hockey tournaments, and pre-game/show skating events.
“The Park represents another important step forward in elevating UBS Arena as a multifaceted hub of sports, commerce, and entertainment for all ages that benefits Elmont and the entirety of Nassau County,” Solages said. “It was a pleasure to be a part of this grand opening celebration, and I am thankful to the New York Islanders for their continued commitment to making Long Island a destination for professional sports.”
