Eble Park Ice Arena

Eble Park Ice Arena is a single, NHL-regulation-sized indoor ice sheet (85' x 200')

The 35,400-square-foot facility offers seating for up to 1,200 guests and includes a spacious lobby, concession area, skate rental, four team changing rooms, and two smaller changing rooms.

The arena is available for private rentals and special events. 

The land now home to Eble Park Ice Arena has deep roots in Waukesha County. In 1879, Mary Eble purchased farmland along Bluemound Road in Brookfield, Wisconsin, following the passing of her husband, Andrew Eble. Their son Emery and his wife, Julia Anna Winzenreid, ran the dairy farm and raised twelve children on the property, building an eleven-room house in 1885. 

The last surviving sibling, Florence Eble, cared for the land until 1988, when she generously donated the remaining 33 acres to Waukesha County. Her vision? A park and recreational space for children and the greater community. At the county’s suggestion, the land was transformed into a public park and ice arena—fulfilling her wish to benefit future generations. 

The Gardens at Eble Park are open to the public as demonstration gardens to teach and showcase a variety of horticultural principles and practices. Visitors can browse a wide range of perennials, annuals, herbs, vegetables, grasses, and shrubs.

All welcome - No annual membership or daily permit at Eble Park Gardens.

Park hours - Sunrise to 10 p.m. year-round

Nine volunteers dedicated nearly 300 hours to the Eble Gardens in 2025. As a result of their efforts, a total of 1,280 lbs. of produce was donated to the Food Pantry of Waukesha.

Garden History

In 1879 Mary Eble purchased farmland in Brookfield, Wisconsin, along Bluemound Road in Waukesha County, following the death of her husband, Andrew Eble. Their son, Emery, married Julia Anna Winzenreid and they worked the dairy farm. In 1885 they built an eleven-room house and raised twelve children on the property.

Florence Eble, the last surviving sibling, cared for the land until 1988 when she donated the remaining 33 acres to Waukesha County. Florence agreed to the county’s suggestion of using the property as a park and home for a new ice rink to benefit the public, especially children. Today the park and ice arena bear the Eble name.

Florence passed away in 1995 at the age of 91. The original barn and farmhouse have been removed, but Florence’s beloved gardens remain.

The Gardens at Eble Park are open to the public to inspire, educate and enjoy! The produce from the vegetable garden is donated to local food pantries.
