City of Long Beach Ice Arena

About an a 45 minute drive from where we are in Smithtown… it’s a scenic great drive along ocean pkwy to get this place.
The rink parking lot is pretty spacious, but can get a bit congested when hockey games are being played. Right near the parking area is a play ground with a playset for younger kids.
Inside is good condition and clean. Unlike some of the rinks I’ve reviewed, this place had a concession stand that was actually open for business. I’ve never eaten here, but it looks like standard rink food, pretzels, fries, hot dogs, etc. The proshop was also open for business. it is very small, they stock some skates, hockey pads, etc, nothing special.
The rink area in pretty nice, the stands for viewing games is essentially stadium seating, with semi-​hard plastic seating, so it’s slightly better than sitting on concrete or metal bleachers. From up there you get a great view on the ice during games… and its nice and warm up there. Couldn’t see any heating elements above where I sat, but it is warn up there.
I can’t comment on the ice itself as I’ve not skated on it, but my son hasn’t ever complained about it after games.
