Dundonald International Ice Bowl Redevelopment Site Visit (Group 2)

Summary

About the Project

The redevelopment of Dundonald International Ice Bowl is a multi-million-pound investment by Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council, supported by the UK Government Levelling Up Fund. Heron Bros Ltd was appointed as the main contractor in early 2024, and the project is currently in Phase 2 of construction, with completion expected in 2027.

Once complete, the new state-of-the-art facility will include:

· A new Olympic-sized ice rink with spectator seating (the only permanent Olympic-sized rink on the island of Ireland)

· A 24-lane tenpin bowling alley

· A 100-station gym

· Children's soft play area

· Community rooms, restaurant, and coffee shop

· Associated support accommodation.

A key feature of the project is that the existing Ice Bowl remains fully operational throughout construction, presenting a range of interesting logistical, phasing, and site coordination challenges that will be of particular interest from a project management and construction delivery perspective.

Visitor numbers to the completed facility are projected to exceed 700,000 in its first year, making it a flagship leisure and tourism destination for the greater Belfast area.
