Brandon’s outdoor skating oval, located immediately west of the Parks Complex on McGregor Avenue, will open for the winter season at 4 p.m. today, Friday, December 17th, 2021.  

Hours of operation at the oval will be 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. through the course of the winter season, weather-permitting. 

The oval is developed each year by Parks & Recreation Services staff and provides warming shacks, portable washroom facilities, flood lighting, ambient music, and fire pits to cook on or warm up around. In addition, the Manitoba Hydro Waterfall of Lights is also lit until 11 p.m. each evening so the public can skate around the oval and take in the brilliant, festive displays. Due to provincial public health orders, limited space is available in the warming shacks. Please follow posted signage. 

The public should note that while use of the skating oval is FREE, it's unsupervised, with no sticks, pucks or pets allowed on the ice surface.
