Parks highlights
Outdoor skating in Calgary's parks
Lace up your skates and enjoy one of Calgary's outdoor skating rinks this winter. There are five outdoor pleasure rinks in Calgary's parks that are free to use. As the rinks are outdoor, they are completely weather dependant and with Calgary's unpredictable weather, the rinks can take a while to create. Be sure to check the outdoor skating page for a list of open rinks.
