PARK DIVISION ACTIVITIES
When will the ice rinks & country ski trails open?
Please remember that Mother Nature (not the Parks Division) decides when the outdoor ice skating rinks and cross-country ski trails can open. The Parks Division opens the rinks to the public at the earliest possible date. (Some years it has been mid-December and other years it has been the end of January.) For the equipment to safely prepare the rinks, we need 2-4 weeks (not days) of below freezing temperatures. To groom the ski trails, we need at least 4 inches of snow.
