The Serafini Family Ice & Splash Pad now officially opened, offers Hamiltonians year-round opportunities to get outside and stay active. Located at the Bernie Morelli Recreation Centre, the Serafini Family Ice & Splash Pad is a gift that exemplifies the Serafini family’s personal and business roots in the city of Hamilton, as well as their lifelong love of recreation.
“Hamilton has been central to our family’s history and we’re honoured to support this new facility,” said Lou Serafini Jr., President and CEO, Fengate Asset Management, on behalf of his family. “It represents both the city’s role in our lives and our desire to share the benefits and enjoyment of recreation with young people who may not otherwise have an opportunity to explore their potential through sport.”
