Skate at Waterloo Public Square

The rink is open for the season.

Find our uptown rink at 75 King Street South:

  • open daily 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. during the winter season (weather permitting)
  • no sticks or pucks — this rink is not designed for hockey
  • no skate rentals on site
  • you can borrow skates from the Eastside Branch of Waterloo Public Library at RIM Park

Find an outdoor rink near you

Use our outdoor rinks map to check if a rink is:

  • open – green
  • closed – red
  • not reporting – yellow

Follow the rules for safe skating

Follow these rules to keep everyone safe:

  • rink availability depends on weather
  • do not use rinks when the ice is wet or soft
  • helmets are strongly recommended
  • no slap shots at any time
  • keep pucks on the rink surface
  • hockey is only allowed during posted hours
  • put litter in the garbage
  • keep children, pets and vulnerable people off the ice when conditions are unsafe

Volunteer at an outdoor rink

Volunteers make outdoor rinks possible.

Each rink is run by a team of at least 6 volunteers, including a rink convenor. Volunteers commit a minimum of 2 hours a week to help with

  • flooding
  • clearing snow
  • sharing rink rules

If you want to volunteer, email waterloorinks@waterloo.ca.
