Don’t Let the Ice Melt: Save Memorial City Ice Rink

For over 20 years, the Memorial City Ice Rink has been more than just a sheet of ice—it is a community landmark, a training ground for Houston’s youth athletes, and a second home for thousands of families.

The Situation – MetroNational has announced plans to permanently close the rink on July 31, 2026. This decision was made without public consultation and leaves our community with almost no centrally located facilities for youth hockey, figure skating, or recreational skating in the nation’s fourth-largest city.

Why this Matters
  • Essential Infrastructure: We are losing one of the few year-round rinks in the region. Without it, costs and travel times for families will skyrocket, forcing many children to give up the sports they love.
  • A Legacy of Support: Our skating community has supported Memorial City Mall for decades. We believe this facility is an essential community anchor that deserves preservation and investment, not demolition.
  • Our Goal: We are calling on MetroNational to reconsider the closure or commit to a modern replacement that serves the thousands of Houstonians who visit each week.
