Skating

Get your skates sharpened and hit the ice! The Town of Paradise is pleased to offer two NHL-sized ice rinks at the Paradise Double Ice Complex. Whether you're in the mood for shinny or want to practice your figure 8, we have plenty of sessions to accommodate your interests. We are also pleased to provide weekly sensory skate and learn to skate sessions.

All skating sessions are 50 minutes long unless otherwise noted on the Dressing Room schedules posted on the screens outside the rinks. Please take note of which dressing rooms are assigned for each session before entering. The full schedule and guidelines are below.
