|
Who can use the rink? |
|
The rinks are open for everyone! Children under 12 years of age should be supervised and wearing a helmet at all times. Please note, for safety reasons we can not permit strollers, skating aids, or the carrying of others including babies on the ice. Footwear other than skates is not permitted on the ice as well. |
|
Can sports be played on the rinks? |
|
Yes! You are welcome to use sports sticks (hockey, ringette, etc.). Nets are provided at the rinks. Thank you for keeping sticks, balls, and pucks in contact with the ice surface at all times for everyone’s safety. We appreciate participants being respectful of other users of the rink and neighbours of the parks. |
Open Water Skating
Skating on stormwater retention ponds is dangerous. Unlike natural lakes, stormwater ponds are intended to collect run-off that often contains road salt and have changing water levels that make ice unstable. Please stay safe by staying off stormwater ponds including open bodies of water at the Reeves Community Complex, Southside Park and Brick Ponds Wetland.
Toboggan Hill
The City of Woodstock designated toboggan hill is in Southside Park, 485 Parkinson Rd. (directly behind Southside Aquatic Centre).
