Clark Properties Welcomes the Daytona Ice Arena

The Ice Rink Returns to South Daytona!

Residents eagerly await the reopening of the ice rink, which housed many summer skate programs and hockey leagues. The Daytona Ice Arena will be opening at the Sunshine Park Mall, a division of Clark Properties, after nearly three months of renovations within the space, formerly occupied by Arctic Zone Ice Rink. Chris DiNardo, property manager for Clark Properties, negotiated the lease for the Daytona Ice Arena. Major repairs have been underway for the last two months which include remodeling the bar, offices, public areas, snack bar, and exterior part of the ice surface. Also, a new evaporative condenser, which is the largest part of the ice making process, has been ordered and will be delivered some time mid-August. Once the ice chiller has been installed, a professional team will be on hand to rebuild the ice surface.

The ice rink has been closed for more than two months and its re-opening under new management is highly anticipated within the community. The ice rink will host many different types of local activities, such as the Embry Riddle hockey team, a figure skating program directed by gold medalist Debbie Stephens, Tim’s Kids (a 12 week program designed to provide young kids an opportunity to try hockey with little or no cost to their families), and youth hockey programs through a partnership with USA hockey.

Renovations to the ice rink include a renovated snack bar, new carpeting and flooring, a hockey themed bar serving beer and wine, a new upstairs lounge with Playstation 3, darts, bubble hockey, and other video games, Wi-Fi Internet access, freshly painted locker rooms, new rental skates, and new area lighting. Grand opening is expected for September of 2009. The Sunshine Park Mall is located at 2400 Ridgewood Avenue in South Daytona. Interested in leasing commercial space within the Sunshine Park Mall?
