Hutchinson has two skating facilities that keep buzzing with activity all year long. If skating isn’t your thing, the Rec Center sure will be.

Burich Arena East and West
Hutchinson features two top-notch sheets of ice at Burich Arena, on Harrington Street across from the Hutchinson Recreation Center. The building accommodates public skating, figure skating shows, youth hockey games and is the home rink for the Tiger boys’ and girls’ varsity hockey teams. Make sure to catch the figure skating shows each year, which feature some of the best skaters in the area.

Hockey players and figure skaters now can also train off the ice, in the arena’s weight room, which includes weight training machines and free weights.

Tournaments or other meetings have a new place next to the east rink entrance. The new room serves as a multi-purpose place for meetings or a central location for tournaments.

When the ice isn’t in at Burich Arena, the space is used for wrestling tournaments, circuses, in-line skating, baseball training and other dry land training.

Recreation Center
The Recreation Center, operated by Hutchinson’s Parks, Recreation and Community Education department, is the epicenter for many recreational sports activities. Located at 900 Harrington St. S.W., it features an outdoor pool and a large, indoor multi-purpose gym that holds soccer, basketball and volleyball.
