Tucked away, in an unsuspecting residential area, is Westwood Arena.
I bet it is cool, to have an arena in your neighbourhood !
The arena : Viewing can be limited. I stood during a hockey tournament, I did not want to miss the plays.
Westwood, has basic amenities, limited staircase seating which is not wheel chair accessible.
Those w/ limited mobility can view the ice at ground level.
The ice is well maintained (4 stars)
Solid sound system (4 stars)
The main lobby has three benches where you can sit before heading to the arenas viewing area. Visitors for two or three teams can put you elbow to elbow.
There is No concession here, - no problem, just eat or feed the kids / yourself before hand !!
BRING SNACKS ! If not, there are many food stops along the way to Westwood.
The lobby has three vending machines.
Coke products / Cold Drinks: Fanta sprite nestea water
Nescafé coffee dispenser.
Snack Vending machine : Doritos etc.
Dressing rooms, there are four : Extra tight quarters. Nine year olds were elbow to elbow.
Two bathrooms - two stalls in the ladies (when is wheelchair accessible)
All in all, a solid, old school arena solid 3.5 - No extras, No bells, No whistles - unless, it's the referees !
(That was funny! Stop rolling your eyes !!)
As long as the ice is well maintained, what more do you need !
Ps. Come early, parking is limited !! read more
