The Stu Barnes Arena in Spruce Grove, Alberta, has reopened following a three-day temporary closure that began on April 28, 2026. The City of Spruce Grove closed the facility after a contractor identified construction work that could have impacted safe operation at the Agrena.
While the Stu Barnes Arena is now back in operation, the nearby Grant Fuhr Arena remains closed as construction continues. The two rinks are part of an ongoing renovation project that includes lobby improvements, energy efficiency upgrades, and new railings for both arenas.
City staff are reaching out to local sports groups to help reschedule bookings for hockey, skating, and ringette programs affected by the disruption. The Agrena facility serves as a primary hub for these activities, and the city has thanked the community for their flexibility while safety assessments were conducted.
