Outdoor Ring Freezing

After a brief drought, we have now been in a cycle of heavy rain with warm temps followed by freezing temps. My outdoor ring has been flip flopping between soggy puddles (it just can’t drain fast enough) and frozen solid. My foot is a fine angular sand with carpet fibers mixed in.

Any thoughts on how I can keep it from freezing? I know mag chloride and similar products are an option, but I’d prefer a non-salt solution if one exists. Any new products out there?

I’ve been intrigued by ArenaKleen as a dust suppressant, and it says it doesn’t freeze, but does it help with the situation I’m facing? Anyone use it for this purpose?

Where are you?
I’m in Eastern Ontario and have never found anything that will keep my outdoor sand ring from freezing.
