Outdoor Rinks

The City operates and manages eight indoor arena ice pads and seven outdoor ice rinks. In addition, volunteer-maintained outdoor rinks are located in parks around Barrie.

The Outdoor Recreation Facility Study helps guide the City in making decisions about where and what type of future facilities should be prioritized in the future.

The below listing includes City-maintained rinks. Volunteer-maintained rinks are listed as confirmed each winter.

City-Maintained Outdoor Rinks
Circle at the Centre & Will Dwyer rinks are cleared by staff every morning to open at 10am, including weekends. Shovels are kept on-site at Will Dwyer for users to keep the surface clear of snow during the day because the City does not have permanent staff at this location. Redpath, Lampman, Holly, Eastview, and Shear rinks are maintained Monday–Friday between 7:30am and 4pm (this includes plowing and flooding).
Volunteer-Maintained Outdoor Rinks
Through the Neighbourhood Outdoor Rink Volunteer Program, outdoor ice rinks may be located in parks for which volunteers have signed maintenance agreements for the season. These rinks are not guaranteed to be operational; the condition and status of each rink varies as per weather, terrain, and/or volunteer involvement.
