I wonder if they’ll be open/able to flood the outdoor surface in the winter? 🤔

Hope it’s possible.

I wonder why the now closed Belyea Arena wasn’t simply converted into a ball hockey facility? The rest of the property could have still been subdivided for residential development. I assume it would have been a lot cheaper to convert a former ice rink into a ball hockey facility, than build a new one from scratch.

iirc, the city only prohibited the Belyea being reopened as an ice rink, not a ball/ roller hockey rink.

Regardless, good to see more recreational developments like this.
