Strathcona County features dozens of high-quality ice surfaces to enjoy throughout the winter months. Our outdoor rink season typically runs from December to March (weather-dependent), and many ice surfaces include boards, lights, and even skating pathways.

Note: The seasonal boarded rink dog off-leash areas (open May to October) are now closed for the season. Visit the dog off-leash page for available locations.

Hours of operation

  • Open Monday to Friday, 4 p.m. to 10 p.m.  (Rinks with change facilities close at 9 p.m. Lights remain on until 10 p.m.)
  • Weekends and holidays, 1 p.m. to 10 p.m.

Outdoor rinks are closed when temperatures are warmer than 5°C or below -20°C.

Outdoor rink status

Maintenance occurs daily on all outdoor rinks from 6 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., and can vary due to weather and ice conditions.

Sites can be used during maintenance periods; however, you may be interrupted by maintenance crews during these times.

Outdoor Skating Guidelines

  • Be respectful of all users on and off the ice.
  • Sticks and pucks may only be used on boarded rinks.
  • Snowbank rinks and skating pathways are for leisure skating or training (no sticks and pucks permitted).
