In May of 2026, the City Council approved a new hockey rink for Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park. The old rink had served its useful life in terms of material longevity and was in need of replacement. The city has partnered with Becker Arena Products to plan for and install a new set of hockey rink boards and fence for the park. This new rink will provide enhanced aesthetics as well as an improved surface/containment system for the outdoor ice. Becker Arena Products staff will soon be installing a new set of boards, and the intent is to have the rink functional for the 2026 Holiday season. Ice operations will, as always, be dependent upon weather conditions and a cold enough climate to ensure making ice. 13 CENTENNIAL LAKES POLICE DEPARTMENT (CLPD) The 2025 Centennial Lakes Police Department Annual report is now available for review.
