Wahconah Park Ice Rink – Alex Regen
Alex Regen originated and led the development of the outdoor ice rink at Wahconah Park, a historic baseball stadium in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. The project brought together local government, regional foundations, and community stakeholders to transform the space into a winter destination.
Through concept, fundraising, and execution, the initiative reimagined how the stadium could be used beyond baseball season, activating it as a year-round public space.

The Project
The Wahconah Park ice rink was conceived as a temporary, refrigerated outdoor rink installed next to the stadium. Alex Regen led the concept, fundraising, and execution, raising $260,000 from regional foundations to bring the project to life.
The initiative required coordination across city leadership, logistics, infrastructure, and programming to transform a historic baseball field into a fully operational winter venue.
