This is a great Winter park. Well maintained by the City. Lots of space for the hundreds of…read moreskaters that attend daily. This rink is an offshoot from the Victoria oval. When you need a break from skating laps, you can veer off into a Winter wonderland. This 400 meter meandering track weaves around a picturesque landscape where you can have a chill glide and let your imagination wander. After dark, the decorative lanterns with cutout patterns cast a magical glow onto the frozen course. It's open 10:00am-10:00pm The skate "shack" is now a gorgeous facility with lockers, nice bathrooms and fountains. Plenty of bench seating where you can change your skates. Stow you boots underneath. Floor to ceiling windows for viewing. Now if El Niño would cooperate and give us some freezing temperatures so we actually have ice.

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.

Very nice rec centre! It is very busy depending on the day, and the epl library has a very large…read morevariety. It is also in a area with a lot around it! Very nice pools, especially the deep end. Also a pretty nice gym.

This place is huge! I got lost looking for the drink…read more I was in the area so I decided to check the pool out. Pretty sizable, its weird how half the pools in this city are tiny and the others are gigantic. I mistook the hot tub for a pool at first. Bad vision without my specs. Hot tub wasn't too hot but it might've been the day. Theres 3 pools I think. Kids, lanes and a diving area. This place has a slide and a lot more. In the swimming lanes, someone had an under water radio, which was weird but cool! Couldn't hear it above water, only below. I didn't see a sauna but there is a steam room. Every 40 seconds it was blasting heat into the room pshhh! Pshhh! I found it a bit tricky to find the shower by the steam but its probably just my bad eyes again.

This community league is in a nice neighbourhood next to a school. There is a large play park here…read more(made from wood), an large size outdoor skating rink with boards sitting area and nets, and a smaller skating rink on the side of the building. The skating rinks are well maintained by the staff at the community league who regularly clean the snow off the ice. They have some folding chairs and skate trainers but you have to be lucky if someone is in the building to allow you to borrow this. There is an indoor boot room where you can put your skates on, store your boots there, and skate directly to the rink from there. They also have 2 washrooms inside this boot room which can come in handy if you're there for an extended period of time. In addition to all that, there is also a large tobogganing hill beside this community league so you can play, skate, toboggan, all in one place! Lots of lighting around too so feels very safe. There is also a large parking lot next to the building so there is ample parking as well. Check this place our!

(That was funny! Stop rolling your eyes !!) As long as the ice is well maintained, what more do you need ! Ps. Come early, parking is limited !!

This is just a small city run arena. Kept clean and well maintained. What more can you ask for?…read more Well best in the benches but that doesn't seem to happen anywhere so.... at least there is plenty of parking and the dressing rooms are a decent size for the kids.

This facility includes excellent workout facilities, gymnasiums, ice and a great theatre.

There's even an indoor playground for the kids! I like the fact that there's a Booster Juice inside among other food options.
