Lakewood's two-rink arena, a community skating spot since the 1930s and home of an 80-year speed skating club.
Winterhurst has been a cornerstone of the Lakewood community since the 1930s, and the arena in its current form was established in 1976. It has two full-size rinks for public skating, figure skating, hockey leagues and private rentals.
It is home to the Lakewood Rangers, St. Edward Eagles Varsity Gold and Bay High School Rockets varsity hockey teams, the Winterhurst Hockey Association, the Ohio Hockey Project and Team Ohio.
Figure skaters including Timothy Goebel have represented the Winterhurst Figure Skating Club, under coaches such as Carol Heiss Jenkins and Glyn Watts. The Lakewood Speed Skating Club, which has existed for more than 80 years, counts 15 U.S. National Team members, 6 U.S. World Team members and 3 U.S. Olympic Team members among its former skaters.
