When winter settles in, lace up the skates or grab a hockey stick to take advantage of 48 outdoor rinks at 23 parks. Many offer separate rinks for general skating and recreational uses such as hockey, broomball and pond hockey. Warming rooms offer a limited number of used skates available for free loan; sizes and availability vary by location.

  • Skate Donations – The MPRB welcomes donations of ice skates and hockey sticks that are in good condition. Call or stop by your local recreation center for drop-off information. Skates and sticks are issued on a first-served-first-come basis.
