Two additional ice sheets/dry floor arenas are being planned for the current arena facility at Albion Fairgrounds.
Description
Planning and delivering on additional rinks are strategies within the 2023 Parks, Recreation and Culture Master Plan which recommends one additional ice sheet in the near term and another in the medium term.
The City was planning to add one new rink at the fairgrounds site, where Planet Ice and Golden Ears Winter Club are located. With the launch of the Recreation Facility Feasibility Study in late 2023, an assessment was completed to see if an ice sheet could be accommodated as part of an aquatic recreation facility at Hammond Community Park.
Given the constraints of the Hammond site, and the need for two additional rinks, the fairground site is the viable option, and has the benefit of complementing the existing facility, creating a sports and event hub for the community.
