The Amelia Park facilities are located in Westfield, Massachusetts, USA. The Amelia Park Ice Rink is the only ice rink in Westfield. The main building is a facility, a figure skating lounge, three party rooms, a skate rental and sharpening area, four locker rooms and a food concession area.

==History==
Albert and Amelia Ferst, residents of Westfield, MA, were involved community members. They bought Camfour Inc., a fishing equipment]]]], Chris-Craft boat distributorship, and police firearms sales company, in 1952 from Adam Cameron and Bill Fournier. Ferst owned the company until 1998 when he sold it to the Picknelly family. With the millions earned in revenue from the business, the Ferst’s helped fund The Albert and Amelia Ferst Interfaith Center at Westfield State University, and renovated the Westfield Boy’s and Girl’s Club.〔
Amelia, nicknamed Millie by her husband, had a dream to build an ice rink for the children of the community.〔Gemme, Seth. Amelia Park Ice Arena. 2010. The Albert & Amelia Ferst Operating Foundation, Web. 24 Feb 2010. .〕 After Amelia died, Albert spent six million dollars to create an ice rink in her honor. He also created a garden in her memory, which is outside the ice rink. There is a children’s museum being built around the corner from the arena, to which Ferst donated one million dollars. A portrait of the couple is seen when visitors walk in the main door of the arena.
