Outdoor Skating Rinks - CLOSED UNTIL NEXT SEASON

Once there has been a significant and extended period of cold weather, the City will again begin to measure and post current ice thickness around the lake, and recreational use of the City’s maintained ice rinks can begin for the winter season. 

The City does not give permits for any recreational activities on storm ponds. The water levels and ice thickness on storm ponds changes throughout the winter due to the freeze-thaw cycle and it is unsafe to be on these ponds at any time. 

Rink Rules:

  • Before skating on the Lake make sure to check the ice depths to ensure if is safe for use. You can find ice depth information updated weekly on this page.
  • All City rinks are unsupervised areas. The City of Chestermere is not responsible for loss or injury to rink users or damaged property.
  • It is recommended that children under the age of 12 be accompanied by an adult.
  • Wearing a helmet is strongly encouraged and protective padding is highly recommended.
  • No smoking or controlled substances are permitted at these rinks.
  • You must leave the ice during scheduled maintenance. 
  • Reminder: the City does not plow rinks on weekends or holidays.
