The rink is on the banks of the Presumpscot River and is within walking distance of the city's mills and the historical Frenchtown, Scotch Hill, and Little Canada neighborhoods, so-named because of Westbrook's history as an immigrant-powered, working-class mill city.
It’s not the first time Cornelia Warren’s name is attached to an unconventional recreational project in Westbrook.
In 1904 she leads the effort to convert one floor of a downtown building into a gymnasium intended to give Westbrook’s youth more recreational opportunities.
