The Veterans Memorial Community Center Ice
Arena was the first phase of a two-phase community
center project. The arena features two NHL-size ice sheets,
one that contains bleacher seating for 1,300 spectators. The
broad promenade at the top level of the seating allows for
display and gathering as well as for circulation. Under-bleacher
team rooms gain access to the ice through vomitories adjacent
to the team boxes.
The second
ice sheet doubles as a fieldhouse for various dry floor activities
six months of the year.
In addition
to the ice sheets, the arena facility includes spaces for
youth programs, a senior center, multi- purpose community
spaces and office space for the Parks and Recreation Department.
