Outdoor Ice Rinks
The outdoor skating season and the opening of warming houses begins in early December and continues through early February (weather permitting). During open hours, the rink lights are on and the facilities are supervised by City staff (with the exception of the rink at West Buck Hill). No hockey or broomball games are allowed unless specified. Wednesday nights are designated as "Open Hockey" nights and rinks may not be reserved for hockey practices.
The maintenance policy for outdoor skating rinks has been revised for the 2009-2010 skating season. Specifically, rinks are maintained according to their classifications (select link on left to view). Please note, on a weekend with a snow event, the staffed outdoor skating rinks will close after one inch or more of snow has accumulated. Rinks will be sealed only after ALL rinks have been cleared of snow.
