PHOTOS: Skating fun in Sugar Hill
SKATING FUN: Though the winter has been warm so far, people are flocking to a new element in Sugar Hill, its ice skating rink. Roving Photographer Frank Sharp recently visited the site, behind Sugar Hill City Hall. He says: “It’s great that area residents have a neighborhood skating rink so citizens don’t have to make the long drive to Centennial Olympic Park rink in downtown Atlanta to skate.” The Sugar Hill rink will be open until January 30. A snack bar is located at one end of the rink as Big Bird keeps an eye on the skaters.
