OUTDOOR ICE RINKS – City of Guelph
Community Ice Rinks are maintained by Neighbourhood Volunteers.
You are invited to share the use of these unsupervised ice rinks.
As the use of an ice skating rink and other recreational facilities has an inherent risk, any participation is at the user’s own risk. No responsibility is
accepted or undertaken for the well-being of either the user or their property. The City of Guelph reserves the right to approve locations that are best
suited for each neighbourhood and have the infrastructure in place to operate an outdoor ice rink.
The City of Guelph provides the water hoses, storage boxes, pond hockey nets, hydro and lights with a timer to create these rinks. Volunteers and
neighbourhood groups from the community do the rest.
If you have some extra time, and would like to volunteer at your neighbourhood ice rink, please contact the City of Guelph at 519-837-5628.
Ice rink availability is based on weather and volunteers. Not all of these rinks may be operational each winter.

OUTDOOR ICE RINKS – Wellington County
Community Ice Rinks are maintained by Neighbourhood Volunteers. As the use of an ice skating rink and other recreational facilities has an inherent risk,
any participation is at the user’s own risk. No responsibility is accepted or undertaken for the well-being of either the user or their property.
Ice rink availability is based on weather and volunteers. Not all of these rinks may be operational each winter.
