The Cloverdale skating rink is at the base of Gallagher Hill and beside the Cloverdale Community League Hall. The rink is available to use for free for all community league members.
The current Cloverdale Community League (CCL) rink was built in the summer of 2023 and sits on the original location of several versions of the modern setup. The rink provides a hub for the neighbourhood during the winter months for recreation, fitness and fun.
The current rink was built, as the last version of the CCL rink, built in the 1990’s had reached its end of life and was starting to necessitate extra volunteer hours each year with growing maintenance of the natural construction materials. It was built by Global Sports with the intention of creating a safe, durable facility that should stand up to the weather and use. The rink also has a higher chainlink than the old rink which includes further coverage on the corners. There is a larger maintenance gate and a raised bench with 2 players’ gates. The old rink was recycled and will be rebuilt west of Edmonton on an acreage subdivision.
Over the past decade, several improvements have been made to the facility including LED lighting, new snow removal equipment, painting and energy efficiency improvements.
The CCL rink is 100% maintained by community-based volunteers who assist with ice maintenance, snow clearing, ice scraping and locking up nightly. These volunteers are then rewarded with the opportunity to book the rink for their own use during their commitment.
