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. 

Arena

End of public skating times for the summer  
You have until Tuesday, April 9 to take advantage of public skating times at the arena before the end of the season. Public skating will then take a summer break and resume in September.

From September to April, public skating is offered every week at the arena. The entrance is free.

Outdoor skating rinks

As soon as the weather permits, outdoor rinks will be prepared in several of the city’s parks.

March 14, 2019 | Closing of outdoor rinks
The continuing warm weather conditions have forced us to close the city’s outdoor skating rinks for the rest of the season. See you next winter! 

Location of skating rinks

Before lacing up those skates, you are advised to check the coloured cards that are placed on the doors to the chalets or close to the rinks. These indicate the condition of the ice and make recommendations for the safe use of the rink. We ask that you please follow these recommendations to keep the ice surface in good condition for as long as possible.

Chalets schedule

Some of the rinks have heated chalets or caravans, so you can put on your skates in comfort!
