The 21st century has become an era for technology. Cell phones, TVs, laptops, iPads and more have made our world one that revolves around screens. These days, most people spend more time than ever indoors attached to a technological device. This pattern needs balance. At Supreme Sports of Chicago, our goal is to encourage outdoor activity that is both convenient and entertaining! That is why we offer backyard athletic installations such as ice rinks. The ease of access encourages families to step away from their televisions and other screens in order to enjoy the fresh air and get active right in their own backyard. We want to provide outdoor fun in a world of technology.
It is undeniable that technology makes lives easier. It keeps track of time, provides directions so we never get lost, connects us with others from around the world, and much more. However, technology does come with its disadvantages. People have begun to depend on technology. More time is spent looking at a screen than ever before. Not only is this harmful to the eyes and overall physical health of an individual, but it can also lead to isolation and missing out on our world’s natural beauty. That is why time outdoors is a must.
With a backyard ice rink, families can enjoy their beautiful Chicago surrounded by one another. Everyone in the family can participate. Due to our ice rinks’ broad padding, elders and children are protected and safe while in the rink. There are several other benefits to a backyard ice rink, including the following:
- They can be personalized. Our boards come in different sizes to fit the needs of the owner. This includes 12”, 16”, 24” or 4’.
- Ice rinks provide the necessary space for athletes to practice ice skating or hockey in the convenience of their backyard.
- We accommodate to the shape and grading of the yard. Backyards do not need to be completely level in order to install an ice rink.
- Products are designed to last for years; owners can utilize the rink for several winter seasons.
- Encourages and protects grass. While most yards dry out during these cold winter months due to snow and freezing temperatures, an ice rink will preserve the moisture so the roots are actually healthier for the spring.
- Backyard ice rinks are easy to store during the spring and summer months.
- Encourages health and activity. Ice rinks make it easier to stay fit this holiday season.
- Expose ice skaters to fresh air and vitamin D, pulling them away from the indoors and technological devices.
Spend time with family and friends this holiday season away from the TV. Enjoy the comfort of your own home with a little more adventure! A backyard ice rink not only allows loved ones to bond in a new way, but it also encourages a healthy alternative to the typical family gatherings. Take a little time to turn off the screens this season and step into a fun, healthy and beautifully renovated backyard with a Supreme Sports of Chicago’s ice rink.
