Behind the Ice Bowl is the David Lloyd Fitness Centre, and across the road is the Hanwood Business Park and the Dundonald OmniPark. Together, they all make up the Dundonald Leisure Park. There is planning permission for a hotel to be built next to the Ice Bowl and Fitness Centre since the early 2000s.

Pirates Adventure Golf

In 2004, a new golf course opened. It was built where the original main car park was. It has two courses, Blackbeard's Adventure and The Captain's Challenge. In the Winter, a giant cover goes over the Blackbeard's Adventure course so visitors don't get put off and the track stays dry.

Ice hockey

It is the training base and a secondary venue of the Belfast Giants ice hockey team.
During the 2008–09 Elite Ice Hockey League season, the venue hosted the second leg of the Challenge Cup final, which was won 3–1 by the Giants, giving them a 6–5 aggregate victory.

Music

The Dundonald Ice Bowl has also been used as a music venue over the years. Artists that have played in the Ice Bowl include Bob Dylan, Bryan Adams, Van Morrison, The Everly Brothers and The Prodigy.

Redevelopment

A redevelopment of the Dundonald International Ice Bowl began in 2024, with the project expected to be completed in 2027. The project will see the construction of a new multi-million-pound facility that will include a new Olympic-sized ice rink, a 24-lane tenpin bowling alley, and a 100-station gym.
