Summer activities at outdoor rinks

The following locations now feature basketball and/or pickleball courts for drop-in use:

  • Circle Lake Park – two pickleball courts (with nets) and mini basketball court
  • West Ferris Lions Park – two pickleball courts (with nets) and mini basketball court
  • Graniteville Park – two pickleball courts (with nets) and mini basketball court
  • Bourke Playground – full basketball court
  • Greenhill Park – half basketball court
  • Kinette Playground – half basketball court

The City has also designated four outdoor rink spaces as neighbourhood off-leash dog areas in the spring and summer months:

  • Sage Park
  • Kinette Playground
  • Greenhill Park
  • Police Playground


The opening of the rinks is dependent on the weather.  In order to form a base from which staff can flood, we require a significant amount of snow that contains more moisture in order to pack them, followed by considerably cold weather (-10C or below) for at least a week.  Staff constantly monitor the weather conditions and when they are favourable, they try to flood the outdoor rinks.

  • Outdoor rinks are not supervised by staff. Lights automatically turn off at 11:00pm
  • All users are encouraged to assist with shoveling the ice.
  • Skating is on a first come, first serve basis. Please be kind and share the rink.
  • Change rooms and washrooms are not available.
  • Please stay home if you are ill.
