Rules & Reminders

Supervision of Children

For the safety and enjoyment of all patrons, it is important that children are properly supervised at all times. It is not appropriate for children under the age of 10 to be unaccompanied by an adult at the arena complex. 

Proper supervision will help us to avoid these common problems:

• Aggressive use of vending machines resulting in damage and other vandalism.
• Accessing changerooms and other unsupervised areas.
• Improper and unauthorized use of the elevator.
• Toys and other personal belongings creating tripping hazards and inhibiting the work of Town staff.
• Food and drink messes.
• Running and screaming. 

Thank you in advance for your assistance in creating a safe and welcoming community space.
