City of Lakeville, Lakeville Arenas and Allina Health announce naming rights agreement for new Allina Health Pavilion Rink at Hasse Arena

Lakeville, Minn. (Oct. 15, 2024) —The City of Lakeville and Lakeville Arenas are thrilled to announce their new partnership with Allina Health, securing the naming rights for the newly designated Allina Health Pavilion Rink at Hasse Arena. This collaboration brings together three dedicated community partners, enhancing our shared commitment to supporting health, wellness and recreation in Lakeville.

The new outdoor pavilion rink will open to the public in November 2024.

“At Allina Health, we are dedicated to the health and wellness of the communities we serve, and this rink will be a space for area kids, teens and adults to get outside to exercise and play,” said Blake Long, vice president of Brand, Marketing and Communications at Allina Health. “We recently expanded our services to provide expert care at two new Lakeville locations, Lakeville North Clinic and the Lakeville Specialty Center, and we’re grateful to be part of this community.”

“Countless hours and effort have gone into the pavilion rink project, and we are thrilled to now open it to the public. The arenas are a cornerstone in our community. The Allina Health Pavilion Rink will not only host hockey and figure skating but will also serve as a hub for various community programs, activities and events for all Lakeville residents to enjoy,” said City of Lakeville Mayor Luke Heiller.

The Allina Health Pavilion Rink is the culmination of a joint public-private partnership between the City of Lakeville and its valued partners, the Lakeville Hockey Association and Heritage Figure Skating Club, who collectively committed approximately $1.6 million to the project. In 2021, Lakeville residents passed a Park Bond Referendum that funded the pavilion rink along with numerous other enhancements throughout the Park System.
