RivCo's Year-Round, Indoor Skating Rink Slated To Open In April

LAKE ELSINORE, CA — Lake Elsinore is making strides towards its goal to be the "action sports capital of the world" with its latest addition: an indoor ice hockey rink. The new, climate-controlled, year-round facility is focused on athletes and families, giving them an environment to train, compete and enjoy ice sports right here in Southwest Riverside County.

The Ice Cave, located at Corydon Road, offers an NHL-size rink and a studio rink, according to its website. "We aim to offer a range of ice-related activities that captivate and engage visitors, from recreational skating to competitive events," the owners say on their website. According to the city, the rink will host youth and adult hockey leagues, skating programs, figure skating, private skate sessions, tournaments, camps, and special events.

Lake Elsinore Mayor Robert “Bob” Magee talked about the new rink, and plans for the future in a recent statement.

"We’ve built a reputation for delivering world-class experiences on land, in the air, and on the water. Now, we are bringing that same energy and opportunity to the ice. This project reflects our commitment to innovation, recreation, and creating destinations that serve our residents and attract visitors from across the region."

The climate-controlled, year-round facility will provide athletes and families with a professional and welcoming environment to train, compete, and enjoy ice sports locally. With long-term plans to attract regional tournaments and competitive events, the rink is expected to draw participants and spectators from throughout Southern California, further strengthening Lake Elsinore’s growing reputation as both a recreational hotspot and economic driver.

Gina Gonzalez, Director of Economic Development and Legislative Affairs for the City of Lake Elsinore, spoke about the rink and the mission to bring more action sports to the city.

“Lake Elsinore continues to redefine what it means to be a true hub for action sports,” Gonzalez said. “Ice Cave aligns directly with the City’s Action Sports Industry Growth and Attraction Plan and our Dream Extreme 2040 vision. This development expands access to high-quality recreational opportunities, supports tourism, and reinforces our strategy to position Lake Elsinore as a destination for sports innovation and community connection.”
