• 

Key elements that define the site character of the Poplar Point and District Memorial Rink include:

- the building's location on the south side of Highway 26 in Poplar Point, aligned east-west on extensive grassed grounds



Key elements that define the arena's heritage character as a massive long-span structure include:

- the monumentality and volume created by an expansive footprint around a framework of arches soaring 17 metres in height

- the impressive frame of solid-rib arches composed of glue-laminated one-by-eight boards

- the skin of diagonally laid one-by- eight boards covered by metal panels of corrugated aluminum

- the large lean-to, extending across and beyond the east (front) elevation, of wood-frame construction with a shed roof and aluminum cladding

- the few openings, including the lean-to's double-door main entrance and the arena's large north double doors and two single west doors



Key internal elements that define the structure's heritage character as a recreational facility include:

- the simple rectangular shape and large open-space floor plan

- the utilitarian materials and finishes, including the exposed arena roof and walls, the dirt floor, the rink's perimeter board walls, etc.

- the lean-to's bank of windows overlooking the rink area; also, its functional change rooms and ice-flooding room
