We have some exciting news! Our Palette Park ice rink, located in the heart of Watercolours, is ready to welcome skaters for the first time since 2022! The Polar Vortex has brought with it some much-needed cold, the perfect temperatures for ice making.
Our rink is open to everyone of all ages and skill levels for all ice-related activities, as long as the GREEN sign is posted. This is a naturalized ice rink meaning there is no refrigeration and no Zamboni to keep the ice smooth. Natural bumps and uneven surfaces are normal and conditions will vary based on weather Please use caution when using the rink. Helmets are also highly recommended.
If the RED sign is posted, the ice is undergoing maintenance and is not suitable for skating. Please stay off the ice if the "Do Not Skate” sign is posted or if you think the ice poses a risk due to surface damage.
Please be respectful and welcoming to all who come to skate. Please be thoughtful and share the rink space with neighbours of all skill levels and sports.
Hockey Players: Please consider bringing a shovel to help clear the ice of snow once you’re done and kindly remove the hockey net from the ice rink surface once your game is complete.
Nightly ice maintenance and floods will occur around 10:00 pm although hours may vary between 9:30-11:00 pm. The rink closes at 11:00 pm every night.
Watercolours has a small but mighty team of rink volunteers who are in charge of floods and ongoing ice maintenance. A huge thank you to our rink volunteers!! It’s a lot of hard work, and we can’t wait for you to come by for a skate.
If you or anyone you know is a high school student in need of Community Hours, please email us at
Happy Skating everyone!!
