[9] In 2017, Damian Lillard and Adidas released a version of his "Dame 4" shoe, called "Glow in the Park", which was inspired by the rink.

[13] The current pipe organ was originally installed in 1926[12] at Portland's Broadway Theater, but had fallen into disuse since the early 1930s with the popularity of sound films.

Prior to the Woods organ, a live orchestra played from above the rink floor.The Wurlitzer has had the Dulciana removed and replaced with a Gamba, and a Robert-Morton Post Horn was added.
