The Petawawa Civic Centre Arena features an 83.5' x 183.5' ice surface. Spectator benches can accommodate up to 554 individuals. We try to open the ice seasonally the first week of October and continue maintenance of it until the last weekend of March. Between April and September, the arena floor is also available for bookings without ice.
In the winter, ice time is heavily used by local youth organizations, adult seasonal clubs, and schools. The Town also hosts public skates during the week and multiple tournaments occur throughout the year.
Rental Rates are updated annually on September 1st. Click here to view all of our rental rates!
