Kerry Park Recreation Centre
REAL ice has helped Kerry Park save time, energy, and costs. What's not to smile about that?
The crew at Kerry Park discusses the improvements to the arena's ice quality after implementing REAL ice.
REAL ice vortex leaves the ice surface clearer and stronger than traditional methods. Ice lasts longer and needs less maintenance.
