Clarington is adding refrigerated outdoor skating rinks across Clarington!

Outdoor skating rinks will provide residents of all ages with an opportunity to enjoy leisure skating on a surface that stays consistently frozen despite fluctuations in the weather, and for longer periods during the winter months. At other times of the year, the rinks will be used for a variety of leisure activities such as outdoor markets, community events, recreational sports and other programming.

Skating rink amenities

Outdoor refrigerated skating rinks are open daily, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. (weather permitting) at Courtice Community Complex and Diane Hamre Recreation Complex.

The rinks feature refrigerated ice surface bordered by a rubber skate mat, ample lighting for evening use, chairs and benches, gas fire pits, skating aids and a warming room.

The rinks are open daily, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. (weather permitting)
