OttawaRinks

It's here, it's here!! Just launched the beta of the new site for all to see: beta.ottawarinks.ca. Would love to hear your feedback!

Coming out of hibernation to share a little teaser of things to come...

A list of my goals in 2025 1. Good quality ice

Norman Johnston and Michael Budd Rinks will open today, and Bearbrook Rink will open later this week! Heated ice huts are open on weekdays from 4-10pm, and weekends from noon to 10pm. Thank you to all the volunteers for their hard work to get the rinks up and running!

I hear our friends at @NCC_CCN are opening up tomorrow morning! More options to get your skates on!! 🧊⛸️👍 #ottawa_odr #skating

Whoa! What is this mysterious white stuff on the ground?! Or should I say... FINALLY!!! Hoping for some ice to be ready soon! #maybemaybemaybe #ottawaodr

Other ice options: Ben Franklin Place, Lansdowne Skating Court, Rink of Dreams at City Hall. ottawarinks.ca Also, the Jim Tubman Chevrolet Rink in Canterbury. ottawa.ca/en/recreation-…

Dying to go for a skate? One of the closest things to ice right now is any of #ottcity indoor arenas. Check your local listings here: #section-1cf53775-05dd-4a52-9f7c-2d58cb6ac062" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">ottawa.ca/en/recreation-…

Happy New Year! 🎉🥳🎊🥂

Does anyone else hear that Jeopardy! music playing in the background everyday? At least there's some below 0º temperatures forecast for next week. #maybemaybemaybe #wheresthesnow #odr

Sing with me! I'm dreaming of some outdoor ice. Sometime in the not too distant future. #MerryChristmas 🎄❄️ ⛸️

I have a small backlog of rink database corrections. I hope to process them today.

How is your season going? Cleared just enough for a small game. #odr

@LephareCouncil Hiya! I’m not aware of one in the east end. Great idea though!

@OttawaRinks Morning! Might you have ideas for an east side trail-style rink? My kids would like to skate around a loop rather than on a square rink… I recall a path rink in Orléans???
