The cold weather is here and that means its time grab some friends and family and head over to one of Aurora’s four outdoor skating rink locations for one of Canada’s most popular pastimes.
Aurora’s ice rinks serve as a welcoming space for the community to gather, socialize and be physically active. Pleasure skating is permitted at all locations, and two rinks are dedicated for stick and puck play. For everyone’s safety, all stick and puck activities are limited to the two dedicated rink locations for this use, and of course, don’t forget your helmet.
The Town is also urging all residents to exercise caution and stay off any frozen ponds. Most of these are stormwater ponds with flowing water beneath the surface. The combination of flowing water and frozen conditions could lead to dangerous ice, posing significant risks to users.
Outdoor rinks are a great way to get active but require consistently cold temperatures to be maintained and deemed safe for use. In the event of rising temperatures and melting ice, the rinks will be temporarily closed until weather conditions improve.
To avoid disappointment, check the website for updates on the status of the outdoor rinks at aurora.ca/outdoorrinks.
Happy skating Aurora!
