HISTORY
The Langley Curling Club facility (1965), which started out with only
four sheets of ice has expanded to six sheets (1990). Two viewing
areas, one at ice level and one in the facility’s lounge both offer
excellent opportunities to watch our many leagues in action.
Located in the George Preston Memorial Center, the curling facility is
owned by the Township of Langley, but managed by Recreation Excellence
and encompasses a variety of meeting rooms, concession stand,
commercial kitchen, locker room, office and pro shop, ice arena (
Langley Chiefs ) and licensed lounge.
The Langley Curling Club has over 700 long-time and new curlers, which
makes us the 7th largest club in BC, and boasts few unused curling
times.
There is daytime curling Monday through Thursday and full evening
curling with 2 draws Monday through Friday with Saturday having a full
junior program all morning accommodating children as young as 5 to 18
and then 3 full draws of Novice curlers starting @ 4.45pm. Sunday, a
quieter day is home to the Optimist “Highpoint” Division and a Special
Olympics group in the evening.
This year the club is adding on ice cameras & 22” monitors for
better viewing of the “away” end, hopefully starting a wheelchair
league on Sundays and as always a continuation of our huge school
program, which also includes a High School league on Thursday
afternoons.
The club has a very well stocked and well-priced pro shop for all your
curling needs.
