The Gardens ice rink, located at 1200 Camino Real in Boca Raton, has been a popular destination for families and hockey enthusiasts alike since its opening in 1977. However, when the developer begins to refinance the property, a previously unknown deed restriction came to light that is causing concern among city officials.
The 1981 deed restriction, which was included in the original purchase agreement, states that the property cannot be used for any purpose other than ice skating and hockey. While this may seem like a straightforward restriction, it has raised questions about what constitutes “ice skating” and whether the Gardens ice rink can be used for other purposes without violating the deed.
The city is working to clarify the meaning of the deed restriction and determine whether it applies to the refinancing process. “We want to ensure that we are following all applicable laws and regulations, including any restrictions on the use of the property,” said a spokesperson for the City of Boca Raton.
Here are some key points about the situation:
- The 1981 deed restriction was included in the original purchase agreement and states that the property cannot be used for any purpose other than ice skating and hockey.
- The city is working to clarify the meaning of the deed restriction and determine whether it applies to the refinancing process.

The refinancing process for the Gardens ice rink is expected to be completed soon, but the city’s efforts to address the legal issue have added a layer of complexity to the proceedings. While the situation may seem like a minor detail, it highlights the importance of carefully reviewing and understanding any restrictions on property use.
As the City of Boca Raton works to resolve this matter, residents and business owners in the area are left wondering what the implications might be for the Gardens ice rink and its users. Only time will tell how this situation is resolved, but one thing is certain: the city’s efforts to address the legal issue will ensure that all applicable laws and regulations are followed.
