New Horizon Mall, located north of Calgary in Balzac, announced the addition of a roller rink to its SkyCastle Family Entertainment Centre. SkyCastle Roller Rink is set to have its grand opening mid-July. The 24,000 square-foot space will feature a 10,000 square-foot skating area, a modern light and sound system, a games area featuring updated video games and a licensed restaurant and bar.
The restaurant can accommodate more than 300 guests, and there are three party rooms that can be reserved for events. Visitors to the roller rink can expect instructional classes and theme nights — notably 70s and 80s for some “old-fashioned fun,” according to a news release. The roller rink is the third anchor tenant in the mall that now has 75 per cent of retail space occupied.
There have been and a lack of foot traffic in the mall, but Bob Parsons, general manager of New Horizon Mall, is confident in the mall’s future. “We are setting and breaking monthly visitor records and SkyCastle has a proven track record in attracting visitors. This roller rink will significantly increase visitor traffic to the mall,” said Parsons in a news release.
“New Horizon Mall is on a roll.” The mall has hosted 18 events to date in 2024, including Disney Fan Meet Ups, monthly Sports & Gaming Card Shows, an Indoor Garage Sale and various holiday celebrations. These events bring more than 2,000 visitors to New Horizon.
“The SkyCastle Roller Rink is another large investment in New Horizon Mall.
