The Sherwood Ice Arena has permanently closed its doors after two decades.
Owner Roy MacMillan said he was informed by the state on Dec. 17 that he would face $70,000 per day in fines if he didn’t close the ice rink immediately, according to an open letter MacMillan sent to state officials.
Oregon Gov. Kate Brown has required indoor entertainment centers, including ice rinks, in counties labeled as “extreme risk” for COVID-19 spread to remain closed since mid-November. Washington County has been listed in the extreme risk category since that time.
