Meadow Park Sports Centre Arena is getting a refresh!

The viewing stands, change rooms, and dryland shooting areas, will be closed for annual maintenance from Tuesday, May 21st, with an anticipated reopening on Friday, June 14th.

During this period, our dedicated maintenance team will conduct important maintenance work needed to provide a great experience, including:

• Conducting routine preventative maintenance on the chiller, subfloor, and surge drum to ensure a consistent and safe ice surface.
• Maintaining the arena surroundings by painting the ice surface, dressing rooms, and arena lobby.
• Elevating the safety and quality of the playing experience by repairing the boards and refurbishing the player benches.

Thank you for your patience and understanding during this maintenance period. We look forward to welcoming you back mid-June.

We encourage you to join one of our other activities at Meadow Park Sports Centre while we finish up on the arena side.
