The Ice Skating season will be starting on Friday, December 05, 2025. Most of the outdoor rinks operated by the City of Toronto will open the last weekend in November and close on Sunday, Mar. 15/26. The rest open on Saturday, Dec. 06/25 and close on Sunday, Feb. 22/26.

Some indoor arenas are already open for public skating (William H. Bolton & York Mills) and senior skating (East York Memorial, Central, & Don Montgomery).

We will have the traditional Friday evening skating, usually from 6:30 to 8:00 pm, depending on the rink, followed after by dinner or refreshments. Everyone is welcome to join the skating and/or dinner.

PLEASE SIGN IN on TBN's website, see the calendar, for each ice skating time shot whether you are member or a visitor.

For first timers to TBN's ice skating, a TBN membership is not required. We skate on public rinks. A few rinks have skate rentals, such as, The Bentway, Nathan Phillips Square (Toronto City Hall), and Harbourfront rink. We skate for about one and half hours. After the Friday evening skate, we will go for dinner.

Here are some of the rinks we have visited: Withrow Park, Kew Gardens, Nathan Phillips Square (City Hall), Colonel Sam Smith Park Trail, Greenwood Park Trail, Mel Lastman Square, Christie Pits, Dufferin Grove Park, Giovanni Caboto,  Harry Gairey, Rennie Park, The Bentway Trail,  Gage Park Trail, College Park Trail, and Reagent Park. The Harbour Front rink will be open this year again.

Please come out to meet friends, enjoy fresh air, and have some exercise.
