A Kenyon Portable Roller Skating Rink was an attraction at Olentangy Park during the 1915 season. It was built just north of The Fun House[1][2][3] and operated by E. W. Nelson of Washington Court House, Ohio.[4] The structure was a Kenyon Portable Rink measuring 130 feet (39.6 meters) by 50 feet (15.2 meters).[5] It was described as being under canvas, but Kenyon Rinks were portable buildings. By July, the park listed the rink for sale "on account of death."[6] Nelson planned to open a new skating rink later.[7]
