Calgary is an ideal place for outdoor ice skating, especially when a chinook rolls in and the temperature warms up a bit.\u00a0 Community Outdoor Skating Rinks are a great place to meet your neighbours and get your skates on for free!<\/p>\n

Community-Run Rinks<\/h3>\n

In addition to outdoor rinks run by the City of Calgary<\/a>, many communities in Calgary have rinks run and maintained by community volunteers. You can sometimes find a list of Community Rinks on the City of Calgary site<\/a> (scroll to the bottom) or just check with a community near you. Please note that some of the communities near you may only allow members of their community to access their rinks or lakes. Double-check before you head out so you don’t run into any surprises!<\/p>\n

Adopt-a-Rink<\/h3>\n

Adopt-a-Rink is a winter volunteer program through which volunteers help flood and maintain existing community pleasure skating rinks throughout Calgary. There are over 70 rinks currently enrolled in the program in Calgary. These rinks are for pleasure use only; hockey equipment is not allowed.
