Project Summary
Improvements at the Ice Arena began in 2015, when the floor and refrigeration system was replaced. In 2022, the City entered into an agreement with the West St Paul Hockey Association and the Two Rivers Hockey Boosters, to build a new addition, almost entirely privately funded, by the 2 groups. This 8,600 sq ft addition added dedicated locker rooms for the boys and girls high school teams, a dryland training space and additional storage.
This past summer, 2024, the City completed a new parking lot renovation project. The project increases the available parking from 91 to 116 parking spaces, with an additional 32 stalls available to be added in the future, if needed. The project also greatly improved safety, by adding a dedicated drop-off lane, sidewalks around the building, and new lighting & security cameras. The project also added curb and gutter, on-site storm water treatment, and new trees & landscaping.
Improvements continue to take place with various facility upgrades planned for 2025 and 2026.
