Outdoor skating

Estimatedhasn't been cold enough yet
No confirmed report — it hasn't been cold enough for ice yet.

Community-maintained: volunteers flood it, so it usually opens a week or two after the first cold stretch.

665 Eagle Crest Heights

PuddleA small, shallow rink for young or beginner skaters, maintained by flooding a low-lying area.
Ice maintained by the community
Lit for night skating
Daylight until about 4:50pm today

A simple open patch of ice kept up by neighbours, with no boards to keep a puck in — better suited to free skating than a game. Lights mean you can come after dark, but lace up at home: there's nowhere here to change or warm up.
