RIM Park was built 15 years ago when the area was basically farmland, bordering Woolwich Township. Definitely not central then, not very central even now.
New sports complexes are rarely built in central locations as they need a fair bit of empty land for facilities and parking, and central land is expensive. In Kitchener, Activa Sportsplex is the newest one (just off Hanson Drive) and it is far from being central.
As to Cambridge rinks closing, the way I read the news articles, they said "one or two rinks might be closed". Nothing definite, not the number nor the location.
