Dufferin Park Rink Closed for the Season

The rink is officially closed - now we have something like a backyard ice rink - the compressors have been turned off since Monday (March 20-2006) - so its a little bumpy - but much like pond ice. Some people are still hanging on to the rink; there was one group skating on Monday night, then a couple of friends on Tuesday. Today (Wednesday) the ice is a little slushy, still hard in the middle but water at the east sideboards).

We've been experimenting with flooding (with a big black hose), scraping shell ice with green shovels, moping (a tip learned from Curling Arenas!) all so that we can learn a little about how ice acts when there is just the weather cooling it. If you have any tips and tricks, email us at skating@dufferinpark.ca or call 416-392-0913 - we'll try it out and maybe you'll drop by to show us how its done!

The Dufferin Park Rink is open until (and including) Sunday March 19. And we're in luck - the weather is cold enough for skating!!

For other rinks that are still open, see City Rinks Website.
