The Municipality of Clarington has announced that its first outdoor refrigerated skating rink, located outside Courtice Community Complex, opened for the 2025-26 winter season on December 8.
It features a refrigerated ice rink bordered by a rubber skate mat. It’s lit for evening use, there is covered and uncovered seating, two gas fire pits and a warming room. It’s open daily from 10 am to 8 pm.
“This is just the beginning — we’re working to build refrigerated outdoor skating rinks across Clarington,” said Mayor Adrian Foster. “Places like this help build healthier communities and make Clarington an even better place to live.”
Keep yourself and others safe while you skate by following our outdoor skating guidelines:
- CSA-approved hockey helmets are strongly recommended for all skaters.
- Children under six must wear a CSA-approved hockey helmet.
- Strollers are not allowed on the ice.
