The Cambridge Ice Park was designed and built as an arena and opened in 1997. The facility houses two NHL sized ice surfaces, four championship Slo-pitch diamonds, two or four outdoor beach volleyball courts, a full service bar/restaurant, complete with an outdoor fully licensed patio, a concessions kiosk, a retail proshop, and party room. In July 2001, Rink Partners Corporation purchased the Cambridge Ice Park, along with the Windsor and London Ice Park facilities, which opened in 1996 and 1993 respectively, out of receivership. The Cambridge Ice Park is located on land leased from the City of Cambridge. Located in the three principal urban centres of Southwestern Ontario, the facilities "feed-off" of each other, enhancing operating performance. In all locations, the Ice Parks are the only privately operated recreational facilities in their respective markets.
