Opened in 2001, Glovertown Gardens was built to replace the outdoor rink that served Glovertown. Glovertown Gardens hosts various sports in the winter.The arena is equipped with a full-size ice surface for hockey and figure skating and provides space for four sheets of curling ice. A newly renovated mezzanine provides canteen service and a comfortable setting to enjoy a hockey game or skating show.
