KENNEBUNK
A Kennebunk woman has set up a $1.5 million endowment that ensures children in town have a safe place to hone their ice skating skills.
Geraldine Waterhouse’s generosity sparked a fundraising campaign that has raised nearly $900,000 to build the 11,000-square-foot Waterhouse Pavilion, an open-air rink officials hope will bring more people downtown and support the local economy.
The Waterhouse endowment will generate an estimated $60,000 to $75,000 annually to maintain the facility and pay for educational and recreational activities.
A daylong celebration of the pavilion’s completion is scheduled for Saturday.
