Skate, Spin and Grin Through the Winter Season

From the early 1900s until the 1970s, Klamath Falls residents found winter delight on a natural sheet of ice tucked into a shady hillside of a City Park. Now, adults and children alike can enjoy The Bill Collier Community Ice Arena, situated near the entrance to the Running Y Ranch. This seasonal covered arena offers open and family recreational skating, skate rentals, hockey leagues, lessons, programs and events.

November 6: Opening Day for 2009/2010 Skating Season

Hockey

Klamath Ice Sports at the Bill Collier Community Ice Arena offers a seasonal hockey program November through March. League hockey is available for ages five and older. For those new to the sport, the Adult Beginner Hockey is the perfect session and includes instruction. Equipment is available for rent (sometimes available to borrow). This session is fun for all adults! Adults wanting more of a challenge should play in the Drop-In Hockey sessions. Registration is now open for the 2009/10 youth and adult hockey leagues. Pond Hockey is the perfect session for youth or families who want to play a game of hockey.  Learn more at Klamath Ice Sports.
