Cool Spaces in Cambridge this Summer

As temperatures rise and Cambridge experiences periods of extreme heat, Cambridge Ice Arena is offering itself as a designated Cool Space, in fact, one of the coolest spaces in the city. Operated by Better, the venue is opening its doors to anyone needing a break from the heat, providing a safe, comfortable environment for residents to cool off this summer.

With its chilled ice rink, Cambridge Ice Arena offers a refreshing escape from hot weather. Visitors can relax in the café, enjoy the cool air inside the building, or simply sit and watch the ice skating from the stands. The space provides a welcoming environment for anyone who may be struggling to stay cool at home or who needs a moment of relief during high‑temperature days.

Alongside the Ice Arena, Better operates a range of facilities across Cambridge that offer additional ways to beat the heat. Air‑conditioned gyms provide a comfortable place to exercise without the summer temperatures, and the city’s splash pads, also operated by Better, offer fun, accessible outdoor cooling for families and children.

This initiative reflects Better’s commitment to community wellbeing, ensuring that residents have access to safe, comfortable spaces during periods of hot weather. By opening up our facilities as Cool Spaces, we aim to support local people, provide relief from the heat, and help everyone stay healthy and comfortable throughout the summer.
