Outdoor Skating
The City of Oshawa built two natural outdoor ice rinks at the Delpark Homes Centre in January of 2022.
Natural outdoor ice rinks closed for the season
Due to weather and ice conditions, the natural outdoor ice rinks at the Delpark Homes Centre are closed for the season. We would like to thank our generous sponsors Sobeys Inc., Their Opportunity, and RE/MAX Jazz Inc. Brokerage who made our first season of outdoor skating possible.

Outdoor Ice Rinks Policy and Procedure
Staff will review the request to ensure site suitability, including:
- water access
- sufficient flat space with suitable drainage
- proximity to homes and sensitive areas
Once approved, outdoor ice rink volunteers will work together to build and maintain the rinks by flooding and shovelling, caring for equipment and keeping a watchful eye on the rinks as per the City's safety requirements.
