With the potential for power outages caused by forecasted snow and frigid temperatures this weekend, Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino and the Town Board today announced the following Warming Centers will be open on Sunday and Monday:

 

• Marjorie Post Park Ice Rink (Skate House) – Unqua & Merrick Roads, Massapequa
• Town of Oyster Bay Ice Skating Center – 1001 Stewart Avenue – Bethpage

 

Both facilities will be open from 6 a.m. to midnight. Social distancing and mask requirements are mandated at all times.
