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 an open-air Kenyon Portable Rink measuring 130 by 50 feet39.6 by 15.2 meters.[5][6] 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,"[7] but it was most likely not Nelson, since he planned to open a new skating rink later[8] in other locations, such as the Hunt Building.[9] The skating rink continued to operate and be mentioned in articles for the rest of the season.
