Alpine Ice has a rich history in Christchurch. It began its operations in April 1985, replacing the original Centaurus Road ice rink in Cashmere. The modern and international sized ice surface, known as The Big Apple, was constructed at the current Brougham Street site. Alpine Ice has since become a popular destination for ice sports enthusiasts and families alike.
Over the years, the facility has faced challenges, including the collapse of its roof during 'the big snow' in August 1992. However, despite these setbacks, Alpine Ice has remained committed to its customers and staff, persevering to become a cherished part of the community.
As Christchurch's only ice rink, Alpine Ice is committed to providing affordable and healthy year-round entertainment for people of all ages and abilities. The facility serves as the home for local speed skating, figure skating, and ice hockey clubs, showcasing its dedication to being a functional multipurpose ice sports arena. Alpine Ice has built a strong reputation as a safe and enjoyable recreation and entertainment centre, thanks to its friendly and social environment. The facility values feedback and continuously strives to maintain quality facilities and equipment for the comfort and enjoyment of all visitors.
