You must register to join. Spots are limited, so sign up early through the Wrenford Recreation & Culture portal or by calling 519-555-0100. Bring your own skates if you have them, but don't worry—we will have a few loaner pairs available for first-timers. Dress in warm layers, wear gloves, and bring a reusable water bottle and a snack.
The park is fully accessible. You will find a wheelchair-accessible entrance, level pathways, and accessible washrooms nearby. Our instructors are trained to work with participants of different abilities, so please let us know if you need any accommodations when you register.
Learn how to enjoy the cold months safely while staying active. We will review the By-laws briefly so you know where the City clears the snow and where you can skate. For more information about keeping active outdoors, check out our Parks & Trails and Facilities pages.
