Skating returns to Stuart Park next week
Residents will be able to enjoy free skating at Stuart Park in Kelowna starting Thursday, Dec. 1.
The ice rink will be open daily from 6 a.m.- 11 p.m. until February (closed for maintenance Mondays from 6 – 8 a.m.).
“With the return of winter weather comes another season of fun at Stuart Park,” said Steve Fagan, Arenas and Stadiums Supervisor. “Crews are already working on getting the ice prepared, and we look forward to welcoming our community back to the rink in the coming weeks.”
As in years past, a still-image live cam is available at kelowna.ca/stuartpark so residents can check ice conditions or see if the rink is closed for weather-related maintenance before they head to the rink.
Skates will be available to rent on-site from 11 a.m. – 8 p.m. daily, except for December 25, when the rental shop will be closed for the day. Visitors are reminded that equipment rentals are cash only, and weather permitting.
All visitors to the rink are asked to abide by the rink regulations as posted on surrounding signs and are encouraged to wear helmets.
Drop in public skating is also available indoors at Capital News Centre, Memorial Arena and Rutland Arena. Visit kelowna.ca/skating for rates and more information.
