The City has maintained the rink as long as possible, but now it needs more than repairs.<\/p>\n<p>The plan is to build a safe, welcoming, and modern rink that everyone can enjoy for years to come.<\/p>\n<p>Donations will help us replace the aging rink with new sports flooring, create smooth paths from parking areas to trails, add comfortable benches and bins, introduce native plants to improve water management, and provide accessible parking spots.<\/p>\n<p>MEDC will match every donation we receive if we reach our $62,500 goal. If you can help, your gift will have double the impact.<\/p>\n<p>Visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.patronicity.com\/harding\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.patronicity.com\/harding<\/a> to donate.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-169463\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_5561.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1334\" height=\"750\"  \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.joinsimpliHOM.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-161656 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/simpliHOM_agent-ad_03.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"864\" height=\"216\"  \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/oaklandcounty115.com\/reporter-food-index\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-166554 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/restaurant-quest_010.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"864\" height=\"216\"  \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/gallowayhommel.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-164071 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/GallowayHommel_02.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"862\" height=\"216\"  \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/oaklandcounty115.com\/events\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-160412 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Event-Page_06.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"864\" height=\"216\"  \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/downtownferndale.com\/publicart\/#\/events\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-166817 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Ferndale-DDA-Art-March_04.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1152\" height=\"288\"  \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/oaklandcounty115.com\/2026\/05\/28\/crowdfunding-campaign-has-matching-donations-for-ferndales-harding-park-skating-rink\/?print=pdf\" class=\"pdfprnt-button pdfprnt-button-pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/pdf.png\" alt=\"image_pdf\" title=\"View PDF\"\/>Save this post to PDF<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/oaklandcounty115.com\/2026\/05\/28\/crowdfunding-campaign-has-matching-donations-for-ferndales-harding-park-skating-rink\/?print=print\" class=\"pdfprnt-button pdfprnt-button-print\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/print.png\" alt=\"image_print\" title=\"Print Content\"\/>Print this post<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Crowdfunding Campaign Has Matching Donations for Ferndale\u2019s Harding Park Skating Rink (City of Ferndale, May 28, 2026) Ferndale&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":336398,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[143,145,144],"class_list":["post-336397","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-oakland","tag-oakland","tag-oakland-headlines","tag-oakland-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/336397","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=336397"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/336397\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/336398"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=336397"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=336397"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=336397"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
