We are forging strategic partnerships with individuals, businesses, and nonprofit organizations to further our vision and philosophy of “recreation for all” by building a state-of-the-art, indoor ice sports facility in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., through a cooperative agreement with the city.
Our inclusion of nontraditional sports is an important aspect of this endeavor, providing children with opportunities to develop life skills, confidence, pride, focus, and responsibility. The Foundation and its supporters are excited to promote a sense of unity and recreation through ice sports in the South Florida community.
A variety of indoor winter sports programs are being proposed for the facility, including:
The development of the Palm Beach Gardens ice sports facility has garnered support from renowned leaders in ice sports, including NHL legend Wayne Gretzky and hockey coach and philanthropist Larry Robbins. Both Gretzky and Robbins lend their support to expand and enhance ice sports across South Florida to serve more people in the community and elevate the competitiveness of youth hockey in the region.
Our state-of-the-art, two-story ice sports facility, located in Plant Drive Park, is designed to be approximately 88,450 square feet (SF) on the ground floor and an additional 34,795 SF on the second level. Green building principles will be used throughout the design to increase energy and water efficiency, enhance the indoor environment, and reduce the overall strain on local resources. Visitors will have direct access to two National Hockey League (NHL) size rinks utilized for youth hockey, figure skating, public skating, adult leagues, curling, and sled hockey. The facility will also feature a retail store, academy space, locker rooms, and a dedicated medical space. There will also be a quick-serve concession area, as well as a retail space for the purchase of athletic gear and sport-specific merchandise and equipment.
The second floor will have multipurpose rooms, a large community/conference room, and a performance center. Additionally, there will be a full-service restaurant and areas for visitors to observe the ice rinks from above. The ice sports facility will be managed to encourage cross-training and the growth of multiple ice sport programs. The building is being designed to allow for multiple activities to function simultaneously. A blend of fees, dues, admission rates, and membership categories are being developed for the entire facility and will vary with the program, league, ice sport, and event.
Our nonprofit status will ensure children and families – from all walks of life and abilities – have access to these winter sports programs. Your support will ensure this mission is accomplished by expanding our partnerships with local youth-serving nonprofits and sports-related organizations, offering those they serve the opportunity to learn discipline through ice sports and the value of being a team member.
Given northern Palm Beach County’s explosive population growth, it is a particularly important time to create an ice sports facility that addresses the region’s current and future recreational needs. The Palm Beach Gardens ice sports facility is ideally situated in Plant Drive Park in between North Military Trail and Burns Road, and is a short distance to I-95 and the Florida Turnpike. While serving the local community, this new facility will also have the capacity to host regional, national, and international events, bringing significant economic impact through increased hotel occupancy, and also increased business to local companies of all kinds. Once completed, our concept will further enhance Palm Beach Gardens as a signature city in Southeast Florida and put it on the map as a “ice sports recreation destination.”
