A community-driven effort to build a year-round ice rink for sports, events, and recreation in San Luis Obispo County.
Limited Fundraising Campaign: LA Kings Tickets 🎟️ Limited pairs
We’re working with the LA Kings to secure a limited number of ticket pairs for our supporters. When our campaign reaches $25,000, we’ll share the ticket opportunity with donors who have given $50+.
How it works: Once we reach $25,000, we’ll email $50+ donors with next steps. Ticket pairs will be offered to a select subset of eligible donors based on the number of pairs we receive from the LA Kings (e.g., first-qualified, first-served or a simple random drawing — final method will match the quantity we receive and will be stated in the email). Dates/seat locations/redemption details will be provided at that time. This promotion is offered by the SLO Ice Rink Project and is not sponsored by the LA Kings organization.
Our Mission
We’re building a year-round community ice rink in San Luis Obispo County — a home for youth and adult hockey, figure skating, learn-to-skate programs, speed skating, and inclusive recreation. Beyond sport, this facility can flex into a concert and convention venue, bringing year-round cultural and economic energy to the Central Coast.
A place for kids to fall in love with skating, build confidence, and thrive in structured programs.
Public sessions, community events, and inclusive programs that make “winter sports” feel local.
Designed to support concerts and conventions when ice time isn’t scheduled.
Where We Are in the Project
The groundwork is real — this isn’t just an idea. Here’s what’s already in motion.
A feasibility study completed with Cal Poly supports demand and long-term viability.
Multiple parcels with appropriate zoning have been evaluated, and sponsor conversations are active.
The concept has been presented to SLO City Council, with encouragement to grow community momentum before matching funds are considered.

Why This Rink Matters
This project is designed to serve an estimated 300,000 residents across San Luis Obispo County — giving families a new recreational outlet, expanding youth programming, and growing hockey/figure/speed skating close to home.
Hockey • Figure • Speed • Learn-to-skate • Clinics • Tournaments
Year-round recreation that creates new traditions and keeps opportunities local.
A flexible venue for concerts and conventions as well.
How Community Support Helps Rinks Get Built
In many California communities, rinks become real when early supporters create visible momentum — proving demand, attracting sponsors, and strengthening the case for larger gifts and public/private partnerships.
Donations, shares, sign-ups, and turnout show decision-makers that the region truly wants the facility.
As momentum grows, sponsors and major donors are more likely to commit.
With demand and funding traction, site selection, design, permitting, and construction become actionable.
