Murray, KY – While Paducah residents will be without a skating rink this winter, they will be able too engage in some of their favorite summertime activities throughout the cold months. The Paducah Recreation Center will be opening to the public later this month. The center features a gymnasium, kitchen, meeting rooms and stage. The decision to buy the building resulted in city officials cutting funds for an ice rink rented annually. City officials say they would like to see the rink return in the future, but were unable to buy the recreation center and produce the funds for the ice rink.
