A year-round community ice rink and events facility serving San Luis Obispo County—supporting youth and adult hockey, figure skating, learn-to-skate, speed skating, public skating, and inclusive recreation. The long-term vision includes the ability to convert the venue for concerts and events when ice is not scheduled.

We are evaluating multiple potential parcels with appropriate zoning. We remain open to additional sites in the 8–10 acre range, with the facility footprint and parking needs sized to support larger events.

Early groundwork is underway: a feasibility study has been completed with Cal Poly, sponsor interest exists, potential parcels have been evaluated, and the concept has been presented to SLO City Council with encouragement to grow community momentum.

Community donations create visible momentum and help demonstrate demand—making it easier to secure sponsors, major donors, and partnership steps. Broad participation is a powerful signal to stakeholders.

Sponsorships, in-kind support, and introductions to potential partners all help. If you know a business that loves the Central Coast, email us and we’ll share sponsorship options.

Successful rinks typically combine multiple revenue streams: public sessions, programs/lessons, leagues, tournaments, rentals, and events. The facility concept also supports multi-use event potential for additional year-round revenue.

We have engaged the LA Kings organization for potential fundraising support (such as ticket incentives), but the SLO Ice Rink Project is community-driven. Any promotions or donated items are offered through our project and are not an official Kings sponsorship unless explicitly stated.

Three big ways: (1) donate, (2) share the fundraiser with friends/schools/teams, and (3) introduce a sponsor or community partner. Even small actions compound into real momentum.
