Enjoy the fresh air this winter by lacing up your skates and enjoying one of the many outdoor skating rinks in Calgary. Outdoor rinks are maintained by The City, volunteers or community associations.
Remember to only skate on ice surfaces that have been made for recreational use. Community stormwater ponds are not safe to skate on. Get familiar with ice safety.
City-run rinks
Outdoor skating rinks in Calgary are weather dependent and are typically open mid-December through February, except for Olympic Plaza which is a refrigerated ice surface and is generally open from mid November to mid March.
City-maintained outdoor rinks are free to use and are flooded as needed during low usage hours. Please stay off the ice while it is being cleaned or cleared of snow. Hockey sticks are not permitted and helmets are strongly recommended. View the interactive parks map to see where the outdoor rinks are in Calgary.
