    Great parking. Good facilities. 2 full size skating rings for hockey and skating lessons. No consession though...

    I've been going here ever since grade 3. This was literally the place of my childhood. However I don't remember it being that bad here. Before we even got in, we got yelled at by some Chinese woman saying that we were "making her wait on purpose" for our parking spot. We were just getting stuff from our trunk. This is unrelated to the staff of Bill Copeland, but the social demographic has changed dramatically. Back in the 2000's, people were much more polite and there were less rude asians then now. The staff were polite and strict with rules as usual. Now, things are completely different. There are rude people everywhere either budging in line or talking very loudly When we were paying, another similar woman was paying for the toonie skate but with a credit card. A credit card. For $2. Downstairs, there were so many people it was uncomfortable. We kept on getting bumped and shoved. The helmets were all wet with sweat, and in the rink, there were the people practising figureskating in the middle of the skating rink. It was incredibly rude and disrespectful to the other skaters. The staff naturally weren't excelling at customer service, but I don't blame them with all this influx of the new social demographic. Ultimately, I've been sounding pretty racist towards Asians and I didn't mean to. It's just the rude ones that really make my family and friends very upset. The venue is excellent as we all had our grad ceremony here, but the people are kind of ruining the mood and atmosphere of this place.

    Had fun at the Burnaby Lakers last regular season home game tonight. It was my first ever lacrosse game and I'll definitely be back!

    Very clean well kept well organized place... Staff were young polite and professional.. I rented skates there and tried on two different pairs both were very painful... So I recommend bringing your own skates if possible. There is a consession tl right beside the skate rental for drinks and snacks.

    The program coordinator for ice skating lessons is top notch on top of things. Soccer lessons across the street offer a lot of clean turf. Tennis lights come on at night so you can play all day and into the night.

    Very good ice rink. We came here with my son's school for skating. Kids had too much fun!

    Beautiful facility where we have watched many hockey games and if you are lucky to have an opportunity to watch the kids play on the wood floor. Unfortunately the co concession is rarely open so you have to find snacks elsewhere and sadly no coffee on cold nights or early mornings to watch the games. You have to go across the street to the Christine Sinclair Centre as there are no other locations for coffee close by!

    Actually came here to do a blood donation. Parking was pretty clear after the recent snowfall. The area I walked through was clean. Pretty empty, wish that more people could donate during the long weekends.

    Nice space for family skate. Only spoiled by parents that refused to give up the only 5 skate helper seal. They don't want to share and treat these apparatus as their own for the entire hour or two if they can help it. There are little kids that can't even stand looking to literally break the ice for the first time and the walker can be too tall for them.

    It's an okay place I mean you go there and skate. But I truly don't like it

    Great facility for minor and junior hockey

    It’s a lot bigger than robson square, so if you play there, you will need more energy

    Amazing facility, especially for skating lessons and public skates. Staff are extremely friendly, look like they genuinely enjoy their jobs, and all get along well resembling a family-like environment. Not to mention they are very attractive, young staff who are great with the kids. My children adore coming to skating lessons and always look forward to going on a weekly basis. The staff always try to engage every child in class, play games while developing skills, and use a lot of toys and obstacle courses to make lessons a great time. Overall clean facility, very helpful and organized, and great pricing for what you receive. I could not recommend this facility more!
