    Outdoor rinks are ready for use when nets are placed and lights are turned on.

    • Hose flooding is complete at all rinks.
    • However, with the warm temperatures forecasted this weekend, the nets will not be out until next week when it cools down.
    • This helps protect the ice base from damage and ensures the rinks stay in great shape.

    With colder temperatures and snow here to stay, work will begin soon on our Outdoor Rinks. Stay tuned and be sure to subscribe to this page to stay informed.

    Here are the steps to building our rinks:

    1. Rink boards will be packed with snow to help prevent water from running out of the rink into the park.
    2. Inside the rink, the snow will be back bladed to smooth out any uneven areas to prepare the base for spraying.
    3. Three spray applications will be complete when the base has been developed.
    4. Weather permitting, work will continue to build the first ice layer to ready it for hose floods soon, moving from rink to rink across the city.
