Where should a team stay for a tournament at Central Park Arena in Collingwood?

Central Park Arena is about 20 minutes from the chalets: 11.4 km from 104 Brooker Boulevard, 12 km from 44L and 12.3 km from Aqua Villa. Eddie Bush Memorial Arena downtown is about 15. If a team plays at both over a weekend, one chalet base serves the whole schedule.

The Huronia Hockey Tournament, set by Collingwood Minor Hockey for October 23–25, 2026, is one example that points teams to a fixture list rather than a single building. Check the venue on every game before the car leaves. Grandparents driving separately need the full arena name and street, since a town with several rinks is easy to mix up.

Younger siblings are the hardest part of a tournament weekend. A chalet gives them a room to play in while a player sleeps between games, and one parent can stay back with them instead of everyone sitting in the stands all day.

If a sibling wants to skate, Central Park’s indoor sessions need preregistration and the skater’s own equipment; the Town does not rent skates for them. Treat it as a planned outing, booked ahead. For the team itself, split by family across adjacent chalets. Omega and Vega share the same layout and sleep 26 together, which makes room assignments predictable.

Every chalet has four parking spaces, and parking a fifth vehicle forfeits part of the security deposit. Carpool from the lot to the rink in the morning. After the last game, the team gathering stays inside the chalets the families booked, with no teammates from elsewhere dropping in; Blue View does not permit day visitors, and the Town’s noise bylaw covers the evening.

To book, the team manager or each family checks each chalet’s live calendar and books it. The two-chalet page shows pairs for 16 to 28. Read the cancellation terms before booking for a tournament that has not yet published its schedule.
