Overview
Ridgeland Common is a 6.06 acre heavily used park and recreation site. It contains a 35,000 square foot main building built in 1962 that includes a 27,000 square foot ice rink/indoor soccer field. It also features a 50-meter outdoor pool, two lighted ball fields, a sled hill and a recently provided dog friendly area. Ridgeland Common serves many special user groups and organizations and has seen continued expansion of programming and usage but no substantial renovations with the exception of a few required building system replacements over the years. As time goes on, its systems continue to age and maintenance costs keep rising.
We will explore some of the great history of the facility through the stories of those who have learned to skate, played hockey, coached, or been part of the Ridgeland story. If you have a story, feel free to add it below in the comments. We want to build a community history of Ridgeland Common and the Hruby Ice Arena.
