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

From September to April, public skating is offered every week at the arena to Saint-Lambert's résidents. The entrance is free.

COVID-19 | Instructions for arena users

To comply with the hygiene and distancing measures imposed by the public health authorities, users who come to the arena will have to:

• wear a mask in the changing rooms, the hallways and the common areas of the recreation centre
• wear a mask during the activity (strongly recommended); it may be removed only if it causes significant discomfort, for a safety related issue, or if it does not provide significant protection
• If possible, participants are encouraged to arrive prepared to carry out their activity.

Schedule

Outdoor skating rinks

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

Information update | Outdoor rinks maintenance and chalets schedule
As in many sectors, the Ville de Saint-Lambert is experiencing a shortage of personnel due to COVID-19. It is unfortunately unable to maintain its outdoor rinks as frequently as usual. It is therefore possible that the rink you go to has not yet been cleared of snow. We suggest you bring a shovel with you just in case; you’ll get a double-dose of physical activity by skating while shovelling!

Chalets schedule
Also owing to staff shortages, 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.

Have a great skate! 

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

The rinks at the supervised sites have a heated chalet, where you can warm up and change your skates in comfort. Masks and social distancing are required in the chalets.

Update on December 28, 2021 | Chalet schedule
Due to a shortage of staff, the schedules of the chalets may vary according to the availability of staff. You can still enjoy skating on the rinks, but you will need to change your skates outside at certain times. Thank you for your understanding!
