How much does a backyard ice rink cost?

Pricing varies based on rink size, slope of your yard, and whether you’re renting or purchasing. Our outdoor rink rentals start at an affordable seasonal rate, while custom installations are quoted after a free yard consultation. Reach out anytime to get a personalized estimate.

What’s included in a rink rental or installation package?

Every Polar Bear Rinks package includes boards, liner, brackets, hardware, and setup. Rentals come with delivery, installation, and spring removal. You can also add lighting, hockey nets, or maintenance tools to complete the experience.

What kind of yard do I need for a backyard rink?

A flat or gently sloped yard is best, but we can work with slightly uneven ground too. During your free consultation, we’ll assess your space and recommend the right size and setup to make sure you get a smooth, safe skating surface.
