LAKE PLACID — Town and village officials have not yet decided where to put a $400,000 outdoor ice rink that Ironman USA offered as a gift to Lake Placid in June, but they said they are confident about finding an appropriate location soon.

The “sports-plex” was given in honor of the community’s support of the Ironman triathlon and could be used in summer months for multi-use play, including tennis and basketball. Hockey accessories including netting, goal frames and scoreboards are included in the gift along with a tractor, Zamboni and other ice-maintenance equipment.
