Orange County Curling Club

Beyond the sport itself, curling has a way of bringing people together—building real social connection, fostering a sense of belonging, and creating lifelong friendships that often become just as meaningful as the game. For many, it quietly becomes a place where community forms, where people feel seen, and where their lives are genuinely enriched by the relationships they build on and off the ice. The establishment of Orange County’s only dedicated curling facility will generate lasting social, health, and economic benefits for the community. By creating a stable, year-round home for curling, OC Curling will expand opportunities for participation, connection, and growth across all ages and backgrounds.

The outcomes that a curling center in Orange County will drive include the following.

Build Community & Social Connections:
• Curling is built on camaraderie and teamwork. The new facility will provide a welcoming space where people come together around a shared activity—fostering friendships, reducing social isolation, and enhancing community well-being.
Encourage an Active Lifestyle & Fitness:
• Curling is a lifelong sport that promotes cardiovascular endurance, muscle strength, coordination, and balance. The facility will offer regular access to physical activity for participants of all fitness levels, including seniors and youth.
Champion Social Equity & Inclusivity:
• OC Curling will continue to provide inclusive programming that welcomes all participants regardless of age, ability, gender, or socioeconomic background. Our own facility will allow for new leagues and events for juniors, seniors, schools, colleges, and LGBTQ+ participants.
Promote Youth Engagement and Leadership:
• With multiple schools nearby, the facility will enable partnerships for youth leagues, physical education programs, and after-school activities that promote focus, teamwork, and strategic thinking in a safe, supportive environment.
Contribute to Local Economic Development
• The new curling center will attract regional, national, and international visitors through bonspiels (curling tournaments) and competitive events. These gatherings will generate hotel stays, dining, and tourism activity—benefiting local businesses and raising Orange County’s profile as a destination for Olympic sport.
