If the rinks still have water in them we play on the tarmac of a school against the biggest wall (half court). If there are only a couple of us we'll play on someone's street (which sucks when you shoot wide).
The nets weren't the problem. I don't actually understand the logic presented by the community association. The outdoor arena was locked at night. Someone was coming in at night by climbing the fence and vandalizing the boards with spray paint. Their solution was to keep it locked at all hours and allow no access. This prevents someone climbing the fence how exactly?

Anyway, I will talk to them soon and see if we can come to an arrangement.

I was just wondering if there were other outdoor rinks in the north that allowed access in the summer that people knew about.

Thanks for your help!

The school suggestion is a good one too. I will utilize that suggestion soon I think.
