The Prairie Lakes Ice Arena is Watertown’s newest premier facility, opening in early 2024 as a state-of-the-art hub for ice sports and events. Spanning 91,000 square feet, the complex features two NHL-sized ice rinks. The main rink seats 1,523 spectators, while the second practice rink accommodates 250, offering flexibility for both large tournaments and community events.

Designed for hockey, figure skating, curling, and recreational use, the arena serves as the home of the Watertown Lakers youth program, competitive adult leagues, and the Watertown Shamrocks, proud members of the NAHL Central Division. Visitors can also enjoy open skate sessions, figure skating exhibitions, and curling events, making it a true multi-purpose community space.

Beyond the ice, the Prairie Lakes Ice Arena offers community rooms and rental spaces, perfect for team gatherings, corporate outings, and private celebrations. On-site amenities include concessions, modern locker rooms, media boxes, and a walking track, ensuring a high-quality experience for both athletes and fans.

Conveniently located just off the interstate as you enter Watertown, the arena is easily accessible for both local and traveling teams. With nearby dining, lodging, and attractions, it’s an ideal venue for tournaments, camps, and large-scale events. Combining professional-level facilities with community-focused programming, Prairie Lakes Ice Arena is quickly becoming a regional destination for winter sports and recreation.
