The GCCC will replace its original, 25-year-old clear span windows this summer, from June 9 to July 18. These windows, now well beyond their 10-year warranty, are the source of leaks that have been damaging the ice. While the dates are subject to potential weather or other delays, the project is scheduled to minimize disruption by taking place during the summer, when daylight hours are longest and weather is typically more favorable.

For safety reasons, the rink will be closed to programming Monday through Thursday, from 6:00 AM to 4:00 PM, while the contractor is working. The City currently plans to operate the rink:

• Monday - Thursday: 4:00 PM - 11:00 PM
  Fridays: 6:00 AM - 10:30 PM
  Saturday and Sunday: 8:00 AM - 8:00 PM

City staff is hopeful that ice will be maintained throughout the project.

We understand the inconvenience of limited ice time, but this long-overdue project is essential. We will provide updates as the situation progresses.
