Modern Mississauga presents Ask The City - Are there outdoor skating rinks in Mississauga?

Modern Mississauga and the City of Mississauga have come together to present an ongoing series called “Ask the City.”
We’ll share relevant information here and answer your questions about our city.

Today’s question comes from a reader asking about winter activities!

Are there outdoor skating rinks in Mississauga?

Mississauga has many outdoor skating rinks including three outdoor artificial ice rinks listed below and 30 natural ice rinks organized and maintained by neighbourhood volunteers. The rinks are open daily, weather permitting.

1)      Mississauga Celebration Square Ice Rink (300 City Centre Drive)

Skating is free on Mississauga’s Celebration Square! The Celebration Square ice rink is open every day from 10 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. Skate rentals and sharpening services are available at this location, at a cost. For more information, visit mississauga.ca/celebrationsquare.

2)      Woodhurst Heights Park Outdoor Skating Rink (3475 Ash Row Crescent)

Woodhurst Heights is a great neighbourhood rink for public skating. It’s located behind the Glen Commons plaza at Glen Erin Drive and The Collegeway. You can walk to the rink using the Glen Erin Trail or from Woodhurst Crescent or Ash Row Crescent. The rink is open daily from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. and skating is free.

3)      Burnhamthorpe Community Centre Outdoor Covered Rink (1500 Gulleden Drive)

The 100x100 square foot playing surface has an overhead roof to help maintain ice conditions when the temperatures change or when it rains or snows as well as heated change rooms. It’s located within steps of the Chic Murray indoor arena and Burnhamthorpe Community Centre. Regular drop-in and rental rates apply.

There are also 30 natural ice rinks in the city that are free and are opened from sunrise to 11 p.m. These rinks are maintained by volunteers so conditions are subject to weather and volunteer man power. For the list of natural ice rinks, those can be found here.
