The rink on East Hughitt and Jackson streets was a long-time popular area gathering spot for winter sport.

The undated photo shows a crowd enjoying an afternoon of skating. In the back is the warming building that included selling concessions.

There were very few days there wasn’t a full house on opening nights.

The photos were a recent addition to the museum’s photo archives.

Today, the former eastside skating rink location is now home to Larry Barkle Field for area Little League baseball players. The structure still stands and is currently the Cecil Langren Field House. (Terri Castelaz/Daily News)
