About Iceinline Central Inc.

 

Iceinline Central Inc. is an Incorporated Society which owns and operates an outdoor Olympic sized ice rink in Molyneux Park, Alexandra, the largest one of its type in New Zealand. We also operate a purpose-built indoor curling rink, just the second dedicated indoor curling rink in New Zealand.

Our Story

The local council provided the leasehold land, and the rink was opened in 1993, following many years at the Manorburn Dam under the name of the Alexandra Winter Sports Club.

Widened Horizons

 
With the move into town, the decision was made to change the name to Iceinline Sports Complex (Inc), as it realised the need to move away from the club aspect, to being a Complex that provides a facility for wider use by the community, and providing a base for the affiliated skating codes to use.

The name was subsequently changed to Iceinline Central Inc.

Community efforts

The 60 x 30 metre rink was built largely by volunteers with local building firms giving of their time voluntarily to help get the buildings up to an operational basis.

Committed Volunteers

The Complex is run by an Executive Committee on a voluntary basis. The main aim of the committee is to provide an ice facility for public skating as well as providing a base for the affiliated clubs.

Indoor Curling Rink

In 2021, a two lane indoor curling rink was opened, which is proving very popular with both local curling clubs, schools and groups.  In time, it’s hoped to extend this to provide more curling surfaces.

Part of the Community

Although the complex is owned by an Incorporated Society, it is also an integral part of the Alexandra sporting scene and a valuable asset to this community. All funds get poured back into improving the facility and working towards enclosing the ice surface.
