In 1973 an ice skating arena was erected within Leddy Park and dedicated in the name of Gordon H. Paquette, mayor of Burlington at that time. One of the Department's most heavily used facilities, the Gordon H. Paquette Ice Arena houses two skating rinks, a snack bar, pro shop and seating for 1,000. The Arena is open for public skating and a variety of figure skating and ice hockey programs. For more information, click on Leddy Park Arena.
