AZ Ice Arcadia

This rink is a dump. You can’t see through the glass, the bathrooms are disgusting, the lock room was small and the showers so gross we had to run to Walmart for bleach and flip flops for the team to be able to shower. Scoreboard doesn’t work on all sides so you can’t see it on LiveBarn or from most of the bleachers. The little bar was nice with good food but it was hard to watch the game through the horrible glass

Fun stuff, cold inside, take a jacket and some gloves because falling sucks but then placing your hands on the ice to get up makes it much worst. Try to go to the earlier public sessions because sometimes the ice is rougher in the evenings.

From a photographer's perspective, the lights did not flicker (a huge plus) and was more than adequate to capture images of 8U games. Forget about trying to photograph through the plexiglass. 1. There are no photo holes. 2. The glass is trashed all around. Unless you have access to the bench, you can forget about capturing images. The arena appears to be well-used and was showing its age. There were a few sketchy-looking people around the parking lot. Plenty of parking. There is a restaurant / bar inside. One men's and one women's bathroom. The men's bathroom was clean. I was not on the ice, so I cannot comment on the quality of the ice.

Overall good ice rink. Has a warm area to sit. Good bleacher space. Bathrooms need to be better maintained.

Was closed durint posted hours, no sign saying it was closed on the building when we got there either. We as well as a family of six other people walked around the building after an employee stared out at us from the window without saying a word to say they were closed for the day. Unprofessional company!
