About this Consultation

For some time there have been public calls for a purpose built ice rink in Bournemouth.

Over the past two years Bournemouth Borough Council has been investigating the possibility of providing a new purpose built facility.

After looking carefully across the borough, King’s Park has been identified as a potential site for a permanent ice skating complex.

The proposal for King’s Park is to build an all new leisure complex to include a mix of sports and leisure facilities, with an ice rink as the main feature.

Bournemouth Borough Council consulted residents about this proposal via:

A postal survey sent to 7,000 residents in October 2008
Face-to-face interviews with children and young people
Feedback from local infant, primary and junior school children
Emails and letters from residents wishing to express their views.

Results

The purpose of the consultation was to explore and measure the following:

Whether or not residents support building a permanent ice skating complex in Bournemouth.
Whether or not residents support the building of an all new leisure complex which includes an ice rink in King’s Park.
Advantages and disadvantages of a leisure complex in King’s Park.
Likely usage of a leisure complex in King’s Park.

The downloadable reports show the findings from the formal consultation.
