Evergreen Brick Works Skating Rink
Visit the most picturesque outdoor ice skating rink in Toronto.
Public Skating and Skating Lessons are both done for the season. Thanks for a great season!
Experience the magic of one of the best skating rinks in Toronto at Evergreen Brick Works.
The Evergreen Brick Works outdoor skating rink, support by Interac®, weaves through snow-covered gardens under exposed beams from the roof of the old brick factory.
There's truly no other skating rink like it in the city, especially since it features an ECO CHILL® refrigeration system for sustainable cooling.
The skating rink is only open during the winter season. It is open to the public from December to March, weather permitting. Please be advised that as this is an outdoor rink, the condition of the rink and its availability is weather-dependent.
You must be wearing skates on the ice. Shoes are not permitted. Hockey sticks, pucks, chairs, strollers and dogs are not permitted on the ice. However, skate assists are allowed and we do have a few to lend out for free. Please note pets are not allowed in Koerner Gardens, where the skating rink is located.
A CSA-approved helmet is mandatory for children under 6 years old. Free helmet rentals are available at the rink for skaters of all ages.
For more information please contact skating@evergreen.ca.
