Make a Donation to the Ice Rink/Teen Complex
The vision for the ice rink/teen center is to build a regional facility to benefit the residents of Edwardsville, Glen Carbon, Edwardsville Township, and the entire county. Students can have easy access to this location for physical education or after school studying. The location off Governor’s Parkway will provide quick access to the MCT bike trail system and be convenient for SIUE athletes/students. This state of the art facility will offer everything from a walking track and concessions stand for visiting parents to equipment rental, study areas and lounge for athletes visiting from near and far teams.
Let's Make Edwardsville "A Better Place to Play" with a new state-of-the-art Community Fitness, Ice Rink and Teen Center.
The City of Edwardsville hopes to construct a 43,000-sq.-ft. facility to serve the growing demand for “ice time” in the area for hockey, figure skating and recreational skate use. In addition to the indoor ice rink, the facility will include:
• Locker rooms flanked by concessions
• Skate/equipment rental
• Office space and meeting rooms
• 175-meter, 4-lane indoor track
• Fitness/teen center and restrooms
Building Naming Rights: $2 Million
Teen Center: $75,000 (SPONSORED)
Fitness Area: $250,000
Private Locker Rooms (2): $100,000
Public Locker Rooms (5): $100,000
Concession Area: $100,000
Skate Rental: $25,000
Track: 1 Million
Scoreboards: $50,000
Lobby: $250,000
Community Rooms: $75,000 (small) and $100,000 (large)
There is already an abundance of traffic on Center Grove Road. How will the increase in traffic be accounted for now that there are three major sports facilities being utilized within the Sports Complex?
Access will be off Governor’s Parkway and the additional parking should benefit Little Tiger Football and EHS track events.
Why is the ice rink/teen center located on District #7 grounds and what tax implications does that cause?
