Toboggan hill and outdoor rink closures - February 18, 2026
Due to current weather conditions, the toboggan hills at Foxglove Park, McLennan Park and Hillside Park are closed due to unsafe conditions with ice and puddling.
Due to the inconsistent weather we have been experiencing, some outdoor rink locations may also be closed. Please respect the rink signage at each rink location to determine whether the rink is open or closed. If the rink is closed, please do not skate on the ice for both your safety and to help preserve the condition of the ice until cooler temperatures return.
