Lace up your skates and get ready to glide at one of the city’s outdoor rinks!
1. Alberta Legislature: Enjoy some frosty fun as you glide among twinkling lighted trees and the whimsical, softly lit grounds. The lawn bowling fields behind the Alberta Legislature Building are converted into rinks perfect for enjoying the stunning scenery.
2. City Hall: This public ice plaza next to Churchill Square is open daily.
3. Hawrelak Park: This huge rink, nestled in a 68-hectare parkland, boasts stunning views of the river valley. The lake/rink itself is 5 hectares and is open for public skating 11 am–10 pm.
4. Victoria Park Oval & IceWay: Got a need for speed? This rink is one of the most scenic outdoor speed skating tracks in Canada. The three-loop skating trail weaves its way to the skating track, home of the Edmonton Speed Skating Association. It’s open to all skaters, though, if you want to just skate a leisurely lap.
5. Rundle Park: This park in northeast Edmonton includes almost two kilometres of IceWay, a shinny pond, a larger skating rink, and a smaller family rink. Public skating is open daily from dawn to dusk, and parking is available at the main Family Centre parking lot.
