For this Cambridge has 7 rinks with 2 that from the way council are talking may be closed, so if it is built with 4 rinks almost half the rinks will be on the edge of town. There has been some talk about using the soccer fields at Riverside park and most people are pretty agreeable to that so I don't think it is a preston/galt/hespeler thing.
I don't know, kitchener's most out of the way facility is at sportsworld and it is 2 rinks out of 11, closest equivalent would be if kitchener decided that they needed to have the same amount of ice per capita as cambridge and wanted to build 6 new rinks and decommission 3 and build it next to the airport, where it is blocked from the city by the river.
Rim Park has development around it, although not central, might be different if it was built next to some kitchener development.
