Weather permitting, the outdoor rinks will be open daily until 11 p.m., except for Father Ermanno Bulfon, which closes at 10:30 p.m. All rinks are also subject to daily closures for regular maintenance between 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. on Wednesdays at Vellore Village Community Centre, from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on Wednesdays at Chancellor, Dufferin Clark and Father Ermanno Bulfon community centres, and from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on Thursdays at Garnet A. Williams Community Centre. 

Outdoor ice rinks are subject to unplanned closures due to varying environmental factors such as temperature, wind, ice thickness, and precipitation (rain or snow). Staff assess rink ice surfaces throughout the day and if safety concerns arise during these assessments, the rink will be promptly closed to ensure patron safety.

For the enjoyment and safety of all skaters, everyone is asked to follow the City’s Skating Rink Guidelines. Rinks are unsupervised unless otherwise stated in the recreational skating and shinny hockey schedule at vaughan.ca/skate.
