The facility was renovated using funds from the federal government's ARPA (American Rescue Plan Act) program that disbursed funds for post-COVID-19 community efforts. The arena had been closed since 2018 because of maintenance issues with ice-making gear and piping. Repairs were made in phases that included rink renovations, equipment updates, and improved amenities.
“This project with the Knickerbacker Ice Rink is another key step in improving the quality of life for Troy and Rensselaer County residents. The revival of the Knick pool and now the rink will transform the Knickerbacker Park Complex, which will include more public skating,” Mayor Carmella Mantello said. “Thank you to the County Executive (Steve McLaughlin) for his and the county’s partnership as we continue to revitalize Troy.”
The ice rink is located in Knickerbacker Park, located at 103rd Street and 8th Avenue. The complex was named for Thomas A. Knickerbacker, a local businessman and philanthropist.
