Ready to Play – Make Your Own History!
Please note the outdoor rink is now OPEN daily from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., weather permitting. Flooding is not guaranteed and depends on weather conditions. Please follow us on Facebook for any schedule changes.
Rotating Schedule
Our rotating schedule offers non-contact shinny hockey and public skating as per the posted hours only, please follow each scheduled time slot. Dressing rooms are NOT provided and participants are asked to come ready to play and skate.
Public Skating
No sticks or pucks, strollers or outside skating aides are permitted during public skating time. This is an open unsupervised skate. Standard skating supports are permitted. No horseplay, tag or racing is permitted.
Shinny Hockey
Please be advised that hockey nets are available, but you must bring your own sticks and equipment. Participation is first come, please limit use and share the space with all users.
Private Rentals
At this time, we have decided as a team to pause private rentals on the outdoor rink this season. Our focus will be to get the rink open and ready to use for public skating and shinny hockey. But with the uncertainty of the weather and not wanting to disappoint, we feel that it is best to keep it open for public use only and maximize community use.
Honouring Gord Brown
Gord Brown was a lifelong member of the Gananoque community and a former Member of Parliament for Leeds–Grenville–Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes.
Gord was deeply committed to community building and was part of the committee working to bring a Canada 150 outdoor rink to Gananoque.
Following his sudden passing in 2018, the committee remained dedicated to his vision and focused their efforts on making the rink a reality in his honour.
Today, the Gord Brown Memorial Canada 150 Outdoor Rink stands as a lasting tribute to his passion for community and recreation.
We extend our sincere thanks to Canadian Heritage, the Town of Gananoque, and our local community partners for their support in covering costs and helping bring Gord’s vision to life.
