Inch Park's rink, from outdoor ice in 1953 to an indoor rink

The Inch Park rink opened as an outdoor rink on December 18, 1953. Construction of a roof over it began on March 27, 1970. In 1982 it became a fully enclosed indoor rink. The old rink was replaced by a modern indoor rink in 1995. The arena shares the park with a swimming pool, tennis courts, baseball diamonds and a rugby pitch.

The park opened in 1948, when the Inch family gave part of their farm to the city. It is named for Adam Inch (1857–1933) and his wife, Jaqueline. Inch, an immigrant from Scotland, bought 100 acres in 1875, at 17, including the 18 acres the park now covers. The couple built a prosperous farm with orchards and a dairy herd. A late-1920s plan to subdivide it into suburban building lots fell through during the Great Depression.
