| Early Lake Tekapo Ice Rinks |
|
Ice Rinks at Tekapo have had several incarnations,
originally there was an area down by the lake that froze (see the video
below) this opened on Saturday the 13th June 1936, In 1957 there was no Ice
Rink operating as the Lake level was too high, This resulted in the rink location being moved to the current position, there were 3 different rinks before the Alpine Springs Ice Rink The first rink in this area didn't have a plant and then for several years there were two rinks, one Natural ice and one plant assisted, these were then left in a run down state until the current owners took over, now the Alpine Springs Ice Rink is run as a Roller Rink over summer and an Ice Rink over Winter, the hot pools run all year round. |

Muldoon An early version of the Lake Tekapo Ice Rink, this shows the two rinks, the far rink had assisted cooling and as you can see this end had "variable" conditions Original post from his travel blog here: http://www.travelblog.org/Photos/2391107 |
