Geocache Description:

The first "Oval" cache has become a victim of the Roseville's Restoration Project. Still a great place for a cache so here's a new one that won't become a Restoration victim.

Located in Rosevilles Howard Johnson Park. No Parking on Co. Rd. C. Park in the lot off Woodhill and take a short hike to the Oval. The Guidant John Rose Minnesota Oval is an outdoor ice rink in Roseville, Minnesota, United States. It is claimed to be the largest artificial outdoor skating surface in North America. The facility was constructed from June to December 1993. The earlier name was John Rose Minnesota Oval.Consisting of a 110,000 square foot (10,200 m²) concrete surface (a 400-meter track surrounding an infield ice arena) with 84 miles (135 km) of embedded cooling tubes and an 800 ton refrigeration system. When the temperature is above 50 °F (10 °C)—the highest temperature at which an icy surface can be maintained—the concrete surface can be used for inline skating.
