Revitalizing Bay Area Access to Ice
When the Belmont Iceland rink tragically closed, local community members banded together to see what they could do to save the few remaining Bay Area rinks. The community evolved into helping to reopen the San Mateo Bridgepointe Ice Rink, and opening the Sunnyvale Winter Ice Rink. The organization’s mission continues in order to keep ice sports alive in the Bay Area. Read on to learn more about our educational opportunities.
Discover our STEM education events
Robots? Ice? That’s right! We host annual robotics on ice events which inspires girls, boys, and adults of all ages to explore their STEM imagination on ice.
Learn about our skating initiatives
We work tirelessly with local skaters, community leaders, members of the Bay Area, and beyond, to educate about the need for more access to ice rinks to support our growing community needs. In turn this helps mental health for our kids and tech workers alike.
