The Rivers Gazette Reporter notes work began in October 1947 on an arena between First and Second Avenues on Columbia Street. It cost an estimated $16,000 with funds for construction and related costs. The facility served winter ice, ice sports, commercial shows, auctions, and more recently volleyball tournaments and graduations.
The Rivers arena saw repeated repairs from its 1948 collapse caused by moisture. A 520,000 bylaw in 1948 and an additional 5,000 funded improvements the rink opened to the public in 1949 and officially in 1950. Subsequent upgrades included a public address system, ice surface microphone, waiting rooms, a two level addition, roof replacement, and artificial ice plans completed by 1985 at costs totaling over 250,000.
