On May 24th, a ribbon cutting ceremony was held for Wheeling Park’s White Palace – the home of many Kaley Christmas parties – to celebrate the completion of a $3.2 million renovation project! Renovations took place over seven months, but a new cafe, a cafe deck, a veranda, and significant improvements to the ballroom were worth the wait!
“The American Rescue Plan Act funding allocated to the Wheeling Park Commission will help pave the way for many improvements to Wheeling Park, a true community park that is an asset to our city,” said Wheeling Mayor Glenn Elliott. “Countless local residents have very fond memories of Wheeling Park from their childhoods, and city council is pleased to support projects like this one that will benefit our citizens and visitors alike.”
Additionally, the Kalkreuth team was proud to partake in these renovations earlier this spring by performing a reroof on the ice rink.
This project, led by Geoff Wack, includes a 32,000 sq. ft. overlay of the existing metal roofing system and the installation of new metal wall cladding over the existing wood siding on the rink’s front wall.
We’re very excited about the future of the White Palace as it’s just one of the many substantial improvements to the city of Wheeling!
