Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board working on repairs at Northeast Ice Arena with goal of reopening in the fall
Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board plans to repair Northeast Ice Arena with a goal of reopening for the ice season this fall.
A major mechanical failure on February 5, 2026, cut the ice season short at Northeast Ice Arena, according to the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board. The facility typically operates as a rink from September through February and converts to turf from March through August; it reopened for turf season in March.
The board is currently bidding repair work to return the arena to the normal ice season timeline in September, though the exact schedule depends on securing bids and procuring necessary materials.
The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board will proactively communicate with reservation holders who purchased ice time for the 2026-27 season as more information becomes available.
