Eric Sharp arena and outdoor skating rinks
Skating enthusiasts can enjoy their favourite sport both indoors, at the Eric Sharp arena, and outdoors during the winter months on one of our outdoor rinks.
For a question of safety, wearing a helmet is highly recommended in the arena and on the outdoor rinks.
From September to April, public skating is offered every week at the arena to Saint-Lambert's residents. The entrance is free.

Chalets schedule
As in many sectors, the Ville de Saint-Lambert is experiencing a shortage of personnel. We cannot guarantee that the chalets will be open according to their regular schedule. You can still enjoy skating on the rinks, but you will have to change into your skates outside.
Before lacing up your skates, you are advised to check the condition of the rinks on this page. We ask that you please follow these recommendations to keep the ice surface in good condition for as long as possible.

Preparation and maintenance of skating rinks
Outdoor skating rinks are sensitive to weather fluctuations. Ice conditions may vary over the course of a single day. Before the ice can be prepared at the beginning of the season, three conditions must be met:
There must be less than 10 cm of snow on the ground;
The temperature must remain below -7 °C for three consecutive days;
There must be no precipitation during the work.
After a day of warmer weather or rain, it may take be necessary to apply several thin layers of water to rebuild a safe and solid ice surface. Watering in the evening or at night is best, as the sun slows the process in the daytime. The temperature must also drop below -7 °C for the ice to freeze properly.
This means that it may take a few days before conditions allow crews to restore the quality of the ice surface. Thank you for your understanding!
