Skating Ponds
Information & Status -- Closed for 2026 Season
Well… That’s a wrap on our outdoor ice rink season! The nets are coming down, the lights are going off, and the ice is officially tapping out for the spring. All good things must end.
Thanks to everyone who came out and laced up skates, chased pucks, and enjoyed the ice rinks for the past 10 weeks with us. These rinks don’t just freeze on their own – they’re built by cold nights, a lot of hard work, and a community that loves being outside.
Now we trade in skates for mud boots and wait patiently for next year’s first good freeze. See you all back on the ice next winter!
The outdoor municipal skating pond is located at 20 Municipal Drive in Scarborough. The pond is situated behind the brick maintenance building, which is between the High School fields and Wentworth School. Parking is available at Wentworth School or along the High School fields and tennis courts.
NEW in 2025-26: Scarborough Community Services will also be maintaining a new 60' x 100' ice rink, situated next to the tennis courts on Wentworth Drive. Hockey is NOT PERMITTED on this new rink due to safety and property damage concerns. Those playing hockey may use the back skating pond at 20 Municipal Drive.
Hours of Operation
The skating pond will be open to the public depending on the weather and ice conditions. Benches are available around the areas for changing in and out of skate gear. The skating pond at 20 Municipal Drive is split into two sections, with the back section primarily used for ice hockey.
The new ice rink located on Wentworth Drive is used for ice skating only.

Ice Conditions
As these are outdoor skating surfaces, ice conditions depend entirely on the weather, so it will be open on a day-to-day basis depending on conditions. They will remain open as long as the cold weather persists. We thank you for respecting our signs when the area is closed.
For the 2025-26 season, we will be updating ice status at the top of this page on a daily basis, and will be pinned at the top of our Facebook page. Our goal is to post by 12:00 pm on weekdays. We will post about the weekend status on Fridays by 4:00 pm.
As a reminder, lights at the ponds are set to turn off at 9:00 pm every night.
