Home ice and clubhouse
Narukerä's home ice is the Porin tekojäärata, which is located in the Pori sports center in the Isomäki district. The artificial ice rink was constructed in 1985. Before the artificial ice was constructed, bandy was played on natural ice on the frozen field at the Pori sports center and before that on the Herralahti ice. The artificial ice rink's grandstand has a roof and is heated, the grandstand was completed in 1995. The Narukerä clubhouse was built next to the ice in 2005. The upper floor has club facilities and an office and announcement room, and the lower floor has a kiosk and a cafe.[3]
