    The Ice Palace is a fun place. The best part about skating at the Ice Palace is that it's indoors. I prefer to be outdoors when I'm skating but in Edmonton, sometimes the weather doesn't permit that to happen so having a rink indoors is nice. There are public skates at the Ice Palace (you can rent skates there), they have ice skating and figure skating lessons, hockey practices, and you can also have birthday parties here. It's nice that even though you are indoors, the skylight is right above you so you still get a sense of being outdoors. They have beautiful snowflakes hanging from it right now (I put up a picture of them). It's a cool place to go with friends and stay warm!

    I enjoy the Chinese New Year celebrations here every year. A fun event with entertainment, shopping and warm smiles.

    WEM on ice.

    I've always liked coming to Hawrelak Park. One year I was taking a summer class at UofA and I…read morewould walk here after class to enjoy the greenery and quiet space. Over the years, we've enjoyed the sites to have BBQs and gatherings. It's a spacious park and even with crowds, it never seems that busy (except during Heritage Days). Most recently I was here for the Rock Festival at the Amphitheatre. It's easy to find the white top and the walking from parking isn't far as it's central. Inside there was plenty of seating with a good view of the stage and those who brought their own lawn chairs could enjoy it from the outside where it was a bit warmer when the sun was out. There's a water fountain near the washrooms and lots of women stalls, although with this crowd, there was always a line up that moved fast. They also had porta potties. There were tents set up with vendors on one site, and food trucks on the other, and sometimes the walkway got crowded but I could walk around them. I enjoyed the event, and it got a bit chilly so I'm glad we also brought a blanket to keep warm!

    William Hawrelak Park is one of Edmonton's most used parks, and used by me and my family on a…read moreregular basis. The park is named after a former mayor of Edmonton and the site used to be an old gravel pit. My, much has changed over time! The park is situated just off Groat Road with the North Saskatchewan River running by it's side. The park has many amenities available from picnic areas, public washrooms, amphitheater, playground, and of course the lake. Regardless of the time of year you go to Hawrelak Park there is always something to do - skating, cross country skiing and snow shoeing in the winter to flying kites, paddle boats, wildlife watching and chilling out in the summer. Some of the larger picnic areas need to be booked in advance and to do so you need to call the City's Parks and Rec division. Regardless of the time of year you'll see people running through the park as part of the trail system goes through it. It's also a hot spot for wedding pictures. Hawrelak Park has been the location of many events from the annual Heritage Days Festival, Edmonton marathon route, the now defunct Bright Nights Festival, Terry Fox Run, Symphony Under The Stars, sporting events and Silver Skate Festival, to name a few.

    I am absolutely loving the Downtown Community Arena located in Rogers Place…read more My little guy is currently participating in the NHL Learn to Play Lil' Oilers Program here. The locker rooms are nice with a spacious washroom in each and showers (5 locker rooms in total). There are washrooms on the main floor here as well as upstairs. That's another great thing - the bleachers here hold 1000 peeps and are accessible to all because there is an elevator in addition to the stairs. There's even designated wheelchair space with safety bars/handrails at the top level of the bleachers. There are free community skates here every week so check out their website to find out the current schedule: https://www.edmonton.ca/activities_parks_recreation/downtown-community-arena.aspx At the top of the arena is a few places to grab a bite to eat - a couple to go places attached to the Casino (pizza and burgers and fries) but also a Starbucks (always makes me happy). We usually park on the street and try to snag some free parking but there is a paid lot available on the North side of Rogers place. Alternatively, there is also the LRT that runs here as well. Two Thumbs Way Up!

    What a fantastic addition to the downtown core for it's residents, workers and students. It is the…read moreofficial rink that MacEwan University is using for it's hockey team. It offers public skating programs free of charge to a variety of groups. Some being for fitness, skating for parents and kids, older adult skate as well as the Downtown Community League skate. Free skates and helmet rental are available. They also offer adult shinny for those who are 18 years and older but you must be pre-registered. All schedules for public skating and adult shinny are on their website. The facility is awesome. It has a change room that you can put your skates on and leave your belongings in if you feel comfortable as there are no lockers. There is a water dispenser for your bottled water. Everything is very clean and spacious. If you do not feel comfortable leaving your belongings in the change room, you can bring them out and leave them on the front bench before entering the skating rink. The bleachers for fans seats about a thousand and there is an elevator for those who can not take the stairs. It is connected to Rogers Place so it is not difficult to find. There is access to the community arena through Rogers but sometimes the doors are locked. It is best to enter from outside on the North East entrance. I will be sure to utilize this facility in the upcoming months.
