Negaunee Parks and Recreation

Negaunee is a community where families and friends can enjoy themselves year-round.  In the winter, we have the Ice Arena for open skating, birthday parties or participating in or watching hockey.  In the spring, summer and fall come out to enjoy one of our parks.  Miner's Park boasts a new pavilion and playground equipment, while Breitung Park offers weekly concerts by our own City Band.

Negaunee Ice Arena

Ice Rates and Rental Fees for 2010-2011 Season

The Negaunee Ice Arena is one of the finest indoor ice facilities in our area. Located at 141 Rail Street, this City facility was constructed through the generous assistance of numerous volunteer groups and with donations from many businesses and residents from our area. The arena is used daily from late fall through early spring (winter months) for hockey, figure skating and open skating. Many different groups and teams use the facility. However, we attempt to have the arena open daily to the public. Times vary for each day. Also, the arena and ice are available for rental for birthday parties and family gatherings.

From late spring until early fall the Negaunee Ice Arena is available for banquets and wedding receptions. Many dates are available for 2010. For more information on building rental, please contact the Ice Arena at 475-7900.

The Negaunee Ice Arena is also home to the Iron Range Hockey Association. They are a House League Hockey Association for Mites through Midget levels, both boys and girls, and the home of the Negaunee Miners High School Hockey Team. They are affiliated with both USA Hockey and Michigan Amateur Hockey Association.  More information on this group can be found at www.ironrangehockey.com

 

Miner's Park and Breitung Park

 

Miner's Park, located at the corner of Maas Street and US-41, has many amenities for everyone. A new playground structure was installed in 2009 along with a pavilion. There are also two basketball courts, a sand-volleyball court, benches, grills, and open green-space at this location.

 

The pavilion is available for reservations.  It can be reserved at a 4-hour block for $50. There are tables inside the structure and grills available nearby. This building can be reserved by calling the Recreation Department at 475-7900.

When the pavilion is not reserved it is available for anyone to use on a first-come, first-served basis.

Breitung Park, located on Pioneer Avenue near the Negaunee Fire Hall, is where you'll find the City Bandshell.  On various evenings throughout the summer months, the City Band puts on concerts for your enjoyment.  The bandshell itself is also available for rental; however, there is no inside building access.  Call 475-7900 for more information if you are interested in reserving this space.
