Taos rally seeks rink reopen and recreation changes
A Taos rally evolved from a petition to reopen Kit Carson Park Ice Arena to a broad call for more recreation. Mayor Peralta backed $15,000 in matching funds toward a $60,000 portable ice mat system, plus up to $30,000 private match, aiming for a November reopening. Organizers urged broader youth recreation and safer afterschool options, touting community partnerships with hockey and figure skating coaches.
