Sportsplex and Skating

Temporary Closure - June 8 to Late Summer

Please be advised that the Olds Sportsplex will be temporarily closed beginning June 8 for a major electrical upgrade to the facility’s power system.

This work is required to improve power capacity and reliability, helping support facility equipment and reduce the risk of future outages. Due to the scope of the project and safety requirements, the building must remain fully closed during construction.

The Sportsplex is expected to reopen later this summer.

While the facility is closed, teams and users may wish to explore other available recreation spaces in nearby communities to maintain programming during this period.

For questions or additional information, please contact the Manager of Recreation at 403-507-4845 or nbedford@olds.ca.

Located at 5133 52 Street, the Olds Sportsplex features an arena with two ice surfaces and a six-sheet curling facility.

  • Main ice surface (200' x 85') is used from May to July for non-ice functions and from August to April for ice rentals.
  • Auxiliary ice surface (180' x 85') is used from April to September for non-ice functions and from October to March for ice rentals.
  • Viewing areas for both ice surfaces are wheel-chair accessible.
  • There are no skate sharpening services at the Sportsplex.
  • Upstairs Concourse is available for rentals, shows, meetings, and other functions

About the Olds Sportsplex Facility Study

The Town of Olds hired experts to study the current condition of the Olds Sportsplex and plan for its future. This report looks at how the building is holding up, what repairs are needed, and what upgrades should be made over the next 30 years.

The study shows that about $15.7 million will be needed over time to keep the Sportsplex in good shape. Around $5.9 million of that is needed right away for important repairs.

It also explores two other options:

  • Renovating and expanding the current Sportsplex (around $58.5 million)

  • Building a brand new facility (around $85.8 million)

This information will help Town Council and staff make decisions about the future of the Sportsplex.
