It's more than an Ice Arena...
Amelia Park Ice Arena is a multi-million dollar ice arena/sports complex and memorial garden, financed by the late Westfield philanthropist Albert F. Ferst (1919-2011), in memory of his wife Amelia. Throughout her lifetime, "Millie's" intent was to give back to the community, especially the youth, in providing positive opportunities for them. Mr. Ferst shares his wife's ideals. In 2000, the Ice Arena that Millie envisioned several years ago became a reality. Unfortunately, her early demise prohibits this gracious lady from seeing one of the Ferst's many generous acts come to fruition. The Albert & Amelia Ferst Operating Foundation, a 501 (c) 3 non-profit entity, was formed in 1998, with the expressed purpose of building this recreational facility and garden in her memory.
The main building is a 47,000 square foot facility which includes a NHL sized ice rink with seating for 600; a figure skating lounge; three party rooms; a skate rental and sharpening area; limited pro-shop; four locker rooms and a food concession area. A 65' x 170' outside inline skating rink is located next to the main building and near Amelia's Garden, a one acre memorial park.
