The Sun Peaks Skating Rink - New & Improved

The new Sun Peaks skating rink was completed and opened during the 2020/21 ski season.  It is a wonderful addition to the long list of Sun Peaks winter activities, and even though the modern design and bright color is a little controversial amongst community members (love/hate sort of thing), it is considered by some to be one of the best skating rinks in a mountain resort community.

While there has been a Sun Peaks ice rink here for years, the new, NHL size hockey rink, complete with boards, glass, netting and an under-ice refrigeration system, was moved from its’ old location near the red barn and Sun Peaks golf course to the new location closer to the village and across from Timberline Village and the Village Walk complexes in 2017, and then as part of the 2019 Sun Peaks multi-million dollar expansion program, underwent a renovation where a new roof was erected and a public fitness facility (Alpine Fitness), washrooms/change rooms, and other building areas were added. 

This has greatly extended the skating and hockey season, and will also allow for covered all-season events in the future.
