Another post from the original Assorted Nonsense, which I’m reposting because it’s rather pertinent to this time of year… don’t take these times for granted, though, they change all the time… best to phone the rinks involved and confirm. And if you hear of any changes, lemme know and I’ll change them here:
All info updated Dec 24, 2007
Sorry about the specific geographical nature of this post. But this has been a source of aggravation for some time. We like to go skating as a family, but we’re always hard pressed to find skating times at the various local public arenas. I finally found out a bunch of public and family skating times today; I’m going to post them here for future reference, and also so that anyone else who might be looking for such times online might have access to them:

Do you know any outdoor rinks in Durham?
February 17th, 2008 at 3:20 pm
you know, Joe. I think we need to start a movement here. We drive into the city for outdoor skating…. What is that about? We had a terrific time at Nathan Phillips square the other day and are going to head in to Scarborough civic for an outdoor skate. I just don’t have any appetitie for circling inside an arena for an hour.
How do we get some outdoor rinks going in Whitby? Behind Schools? The old hospital grounds? We actually have an outdoor rink near us in peel park and it’s completely snowed under and only used for street hockey in the summer!

I say we close off a certain crescent, flood it, rent a Zamboni, and we’ll be good to go. Either that or we each offer up our front lawns.
Except that you were serious, weren’t you?
There’s got to be a flat park somewhere. If somebody were to donate some land a small volunteer group could maintain it, with a small contribution from the City of Whitby.
