Skating at Bill Copeland Sports Centre

Temporary closure of Sperling Avenue entrance and parking lots due to construction
March 11 update: Visitors can park in front of Bill Copeland Sports Centre or across the street at Christine Sinclair Community Centre and Burnaby Lake Sports Complex West parking lots. From the Burnaby Lake East parking lot, please follow the detour signs to access the building entrance from Kensington Avenue. We apologize for any inconvenience.

The new lower level entrance off of Sperling Avenue will be accessible at ice level on March 25. At the same time, the north west parking lot in front of Bill Copeland will close for expansion and improvement. This parking lot is scheduled to re-open in September 2025.

First time on the ice–or a rink regular? We offer lots of opportunities to learn and enjoy ice skating through lessons, public skates or hockey, for all ages and abilities.

Bringing a group?

Groups of 15 or more wanting to attend public or toonie skating sessions need to provide the arena program coordinator with at least 5 days’ notice so that appropriate staff levels can be arranged. Call us at 604-297-4521 for more details.

We're switching to floor season for the spring and summer!

Check out our drop-in gym and racquet sports.
