Dunedin's International Ice Skating Arena, the DUNEDIN ICE STADIUM, is the New Zealand premier ice sports
complex. With the 'Corinne Gilkison' ice skating rink, (a full size Olympic ice hockey arena) and the
adjacent 'Caversham Foundation' four lane curling sheet, the complex is recognised as the premier
ice sports facility in Australasia. The 60x30 metre Olympic Ice hockey rink was opened in 2004, and
the adjacent curling rink was completed in 2005 and officially opened for the public in 2006. The recent
(2009) construction of the fully insulated mezannine veiwing lounge overlooking both the
Olympic ice hockey arena, and the adjacent four sheet curling facilities has enhanced spectator comefort. The
Alexander McMillan stand has seating for 1500 people while the rinkside stand will accommodate 350
spectators. The DUNEDIN ICE STADIUM operates year round for public
skating.
