Outdoor Ice Rinks

Milton’s neighbourhood outdoor rinks program is a collaborative effort between residents and the Town of Milton. Outdoor rinks are normally open between January and March of each year. The ice rinks are weather dependent and during extended periods of above 0-degree temperatures, ice conditions may require a closure. Closure notifications will be posted on the Town’s social media channels.
