The City of Edwardsville and the Village of Glen Carbon officially are partners in the project to build a proposed ice rink, track, fitness and teen center.
This new development, called TheCENTER, will be located in Edwardsville by Edwardsville High School, off Tiger Drive and Governor’s Parkway.
The two entities already partner on the community pool at SIUE and this agreement is another example of their city-village collaboration.
TheCENTER is the third and final park project to be completed as part of the “A Better Place to Play” Campaign. This community-centered facility is a recreational complex that will offer its residents and surrounding communities a year-round option for skating, exercise and more. It offers one of the only 175-meter special surface tracks in the area and will also offer a state-of-the-art ice rink, teen center, and meeting space. Because of this agreement, residents of Glen Carbon will pay the same rates as Edwardsville residents. Membership packages will also be available, with details still being discussed.
