The weather is getting colder, but not yet cold enough to start working on the Town of New Tecumseth’s outdoor rink.
Outdoor rinks can be difficult to maintain as they are totally dependent on the weather, and how Town crews maintain them the best they can during the winter months.
Many people enjoy spending time on the ice.
Once it gets cold enough, and is predicted to remain cold, crews will start flooding the surface to create an ice area.
Two of the local rinks depend on the weather while one has the advantage of being connected to an ice plant to keep the surface cold.
To find out when the rinks will be ready for skating, keep an eye on the Town’s social media where it will announce that the rinks will be open.
The Town’s social media channels will also announce when rinks are closed to due warmer weather and when rinks are restricted in order to help maintain the ice surface.
An outdoor rink will be located in Alliston at the Donor Diamond in Riverdale Park.
A second outdoor rink will be created in Beeton at Beeton Community Park.
In Tottenham, the ice pad is adjacent to the community centre. Note that access to the rink is on a first-come, first-serve basis, with a maximum of 50 skaters allowed on the ice at any given time.
