Go for a skate on Burlington’s artificial outdoor rink outside the Appleby Ice Centre
Published July 13, 2021 at 2:11 pm
Burlington residents can lace up those skates.
While City rinks will be opening soon, you can still go for a skate on the artificial skating surface outside at the Appleby Ice Centre parking lot, located on 1201 Appleby Line.
No pre-registration or COVID-19 screening is required at the first-come, first served outdoor rink which has no staff onsite monitoring it.
Residents are reminded to take your time when you first step on the artificial ice as the skating surface will feel different. The skating surface is made of synthetic polymer surface.
If others are waiting, maximum time on the rink is 30 minutes and residents must keep a three-metre distance from other households and ensure capacity does not surpass the number allowed by provincial health and safety guidelines.
If feeling ill, residents are asked to stay home.
