Last chance for laps: Stuart Park outdoor skating rink closes Friday

News Release

There’s only a couple of days left to enjoy free public skating at Stuart Park this season. Warmer temperatures are bringing an end to the outdoor skating season as the ice becomes more difficult to maintain. The ice rink will close on Friday, Feb. 27 at 11 a.m.

“While last week’s colder temperatures helped keep the rink going, we are now at the point where we need to close the ice surface” says Steve Hebden, Recreation Facility Operations Supervisor. “It’s been another excellent season of skating!”

A reminder to those taking a final lap to check the live cam at kelowna.ca/stuartpark before heading down to the rink. Milder temperatures, especially during the middle of the day, can potentially lead to unscheduled rink closures for ice maintenance which would be noted on the live cam.
