Outdoor rinks normally open in late December to early January, depending on weather conditions.
For indoor skating opportunities, view the recreation drop-in calendar.Â
Strathcona County features dozens of high-quality ice surfaces to enjoy throughout the winter months. Our outdoor rink season typically runs from December to March (weather-dependent), and many ice surfaces include boards, lights, and even skating pathways.
Note: The seasonal boarded rink dog off-leash areas (open May to October) are now closed for the season. Visit the dog off-leash page for available locations.
Outdoor rinks are closed when temperatures are warmer than 5°C or below -20°C.
