As of Monday, August 17, the Town of Collingwood is pleased to announce the re-opening of Central Park Arena for ice rentals, with a modified schedule of Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and with special return-to-play instructions.

- Masks are mandatory when entering and leaving the arena (but not on the ice).
- Rental groups are asked to vacate the premises within 15 minutes of their ice time
