Ice Rinks Construction

Built to withstand harsh Canadian winters and meet CSA and municipal standards, our rinks deliver long-term performance and can be adapted for year-round recreation, including basketball, pickleball, and community events.

GLV Construction designs and builds durable, community-focused outdoor ice rinks across Alberta and Western Canada. From natural ice surfaces to multi-use courts, our rinks are engineered for safety, longevity, and year-round recreation.

Building Outdoor Ice Rinks for Canadian Communities

In Canada, outdoor skating is more than just a pastime — it’s part of our culture. At GLV Construction, we’ve been building spaces for communities to gather, play, and stay active for over 35 years. As a second-generation Canadian, family-owned company, we bring technical expertise and a deep understanding of recreational construction to every project we take on.
From small community rinks to multi-use surfaces that transform into pickleball or basketball courts in summer, our outdoor ice rinks are designed for durability, safety, and year-round enjoyment. With more than a dozen successful rink projects across Alberta, including Waterways Rink in Fort McMurray and McKenzie Towne’s multi-purpose park, GLV Construction has become a trusted partner for municipalities, landscape architects, and community groups looking to bring their vision to life.

Multi-Use Courts

We design and build rinks that transition into multi-use courts during warmer months, extending their value to the community. This adaptability allows a single space to host everything from winter skating to summer tennis, basketball, or pickleball.

Custom Layouts

We provide custom layouts to suit the needs of each community and seamlessly integrate outdoor rinks into larger park master plans. By managing the entire process in-house, we ensure projects are delivered on time and on budget.

Community-Centered Design

We believe the best rinks are built with input from the people who will use them. We actively encourage and lead community engagement sessions, gathering feedback from residents, local sports groups, and municipal partners.

Built to Last
