Equitable access to ice sports and decades of investment in our resurgent downtown are in jeopardy. Please join us in our effort to save Riverview Ice House from demolition and keep the future of downtown nice and chill.
Save Riverview Ice House is led by a grassroots group of Rockford taxpayers, regional citizens and supporters of Riverview Ice House, the Rockford Park District and Downtown Rockford.
We’re also hockey players and skaters, business owners and employees, elected officials and non-profit leaders, clergy and congregation members, downtown workers and other stakeholders from across the region. We are united by sporting, cultural, economic and emotional connections with Riverview Ice House and Downtown Rockford that span decades.
Our common interest in the overall health of our community drives our goal of building and sustaining a healthy urban core and balanced growth and development throughout our region. We know that successful communities and regions across our nation have vibrant, diverse and prosperous downtowns.
