Get ready to glide along our 220m figure-eight skate trail starting on December 20, 2025.

Those under the age of 18 and/or those without a valid government issued ID will not be able to rent skates without their parent or legal guardian present.
Rentals and concessions are cashless. We are only able to accept debit or credit cards.
We’re excited to welcome neighbours and visitors back for another enchanting winter of ice skating under the city lights. Opening weekend skating runs from noon to 9pm.
