Flames Foundation, NHL and NHLPA help Parkdale Community Association build first Alberta s accessible outdoor rink by PRESS RELEASE @NHLFlames / CalgaryFlames.com
The city of Calgary is now home to Alberta s first accessible and outdoor community rink. After winter construction, the Parkdale Community Association (PCA) has rebuilt its outdoor rink to make the facility more inclusive to the community, including sledge hockey players.
The Parkdale Community Rink served the neighbourhood for 30 years and was at the end of its useful life. Over the past three years, the Community Association worked with community organizations such as Level Playing Field and the Sledge Hockey Association to design a rink that sets a new standard for recreational facilities in western Canada.
