Smead Arena in Springfield

Dress warm this is a cold rink. Very clean well cared for.

Great rink overall. I play hockey here with the guys often and the ice is usually pretty decent most of the time. (Depending on whose on ice duty that day.) they’ve got some vending machines there and a few games for the kids to play when they get bored. Worth the visit!

The staff are awesome! We need more time to free skate and the ice made me trip.

I would like to share experience of time skating! Except not only cant i skate, i cant find skating times, i cant find anything re public skating @ all! I scoured their web site. Brought me everywhere & gave me info about everything else except for public skating! Not sure if they dont have @ all, only during winter mths. Nothing @ all on the calendar for the whole yr. There was nothing on public skating pg. I have 2granddaughters who have been asking to skate. Was hoping i could find something locally. Know ice skating is more seasonal. I personally think having indoor skating during summer mths or @ least 1 or two of the summer mths would b great! Always looking for a place to cool off & would b a great activity for the kids during warm mths, nice & cold! My girls & their friends would love!! Actually all my gkids would love! Something different out of the same summer relm. Anyway, if anyone has any info re schedule & times for Spfld or Holyoke rink i would appreciate? Or if anyone knows anywhere there is ice skating during the mth of aug? & or Sept. Thank u very much for reading & your time! Enjoy rest of summer!! 🙂✌🌻

Picked up some free top soil out in the parking lot. Plenty of room and the dirt was pretty good and you can't beat the price (free) Seems well organized.

Only 5 people on the rink when I went today! Which is awesome after not skating for 4 years, plus it was my first time at Smead. Ended up exchanging phone numbers and was giving and getting pointer so it was a blast. Will definitely be coming here more often! Also the skates are pretty good for rentals 🙂

Its okay, the ICE is not as good as it use to be. The rink is generally dirty and the bathrooms are always rough to say the least. The head manager too always comes off as very standoffish. As someone who use to work there I would have definitely gotten in trouble for the state that the rink is in currently.

Nice rink and location, and not too cold.
