South Lake Tahoe Ice Arena

The South Lake Tahoe Ice Arena will be temporarily closed from August 4 through September 15, 2025, for essential upgrades to improve energy efficiency and reliability at the arena. These planned improvements are part of a larger citywide energy upgrades project. With a unique financing structure, the future cost savings from energy generation through solar installations will help fund the necessary upgrades at the ice arena.    

Planned upgrades include:

• Complete replacement of the Central Chiller Plant
• Roof replacement, including additional insulation for added energy efficiency
• Refurbishment and relocation of a microturbine for more efficient heating and energy use at the Ice Arena

The ice arena’s current central chiller plant has reached the end of its expected service life. The City is taking proactive steps to replace the equipment now to avoid future disruptions. This planned closure helps to manage costs effectively while maximizing future ice time for the community.
