Outdoor rinks
UPDATED FEB. 17: Due to heavy rain and warm temperatures, the outdoor rinks are closed until further notice. The natural rinks at Maple and North Thornhill community centres will remain closed.
Outdoor Rinks

Outdoor rinks are open for the season ! 

Skate anytime for FREE at our four outdoor rinks, located at
 Chancellor, Dufferin Clark, Father E. Bulfon and Vellore Village community centres. Click here for outdoor rink locations. Due to ongoing construction, the outdoor rink at Garnet A. Williams Community Centre will not open this season.

Weather permitting, all rinks are open daily until 11pm, except for Father E. Bulfon which closes at 10:30pm.

Mother Nature has a role to play with the rinks safely opening. Postponements or closures due to weather conditions will be posted on-site at outdoor rinks. 

  • All rinks are unsupervised unless otherwise stated in the Outdoor Rinks Supervised Hours schedule below. The use of sticks and pucks is prohibited during supervised hours.
  • Maintenance closures: All rinks are also subject to weekly closures for regular maintenance between 9:30-11:30am on Wednesdays at Chancellor and Dufferin Clark community centres, and on Thursdays at Father E. Bulfon and Vellore Village community centres.
  • Flooding schedule: Pending adjustments due to daily weather and ice conditions, outdoor rinks are flooded daily at 12pm, 4pm, 7pm and 10pm, except for Father E. Bulfon which is flooded at 10:30pm.
  • Instructional skate times: Recreational skating and shinny hockey is not permitted during City-led instructional skate times on Saturdays and Sundays from 9:30-11:30am.
For the enjoyment and safety of all skaters, citizens are asked to follow Skating Rink Guidelines.
