In Part 2 of the Oak Park Ice Rink's Chilling Equipment Replacement, we see the removal of the building's 3 original 1969/1970 chillers (only one worked when we closed), the cooling tower outside, and the digging out of the rink floor. Almost everything that is removed has been there since the original construction of the rink. What's left is room for a shiny new chiller and cooling tower, and a rink floor that is 12 inches or so deeper than when you saw it last.
