Consistently warm temperatures have ended the outdoor skating season.
The Stuart Park outdoor rink will be closed after skating tonight as the ice can no longer be maintained. Skating is still available at Rutland Arena, Capital News Centre and Memorial Arena. Visit for public skating times.
鈥淲hile sometimes we can keep the rink open a little later in the season, the ice has become too thin due to the number of warm and sunny days in a row, and even with cooler nights the surface can鈥檛 be maintained,鈥 said Steve Fagan, City of 91大黄鸭 arenas and stadiums supervisor.
The adjacent fire pit will also be turned off until the next skating season.
Fortunately, 91大黄鸭 is a four season playground and when one activity ends, another one becomes available. Kasugai Gardens gates will open for the spring season starting Tuesday, March 1. The gardens will be open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. until Victoria Day weekend. Throughout the summer months the gardens will be open until 8 p.m.
Kasugai Gardens provides a tranquil environment featuring traditional elements of a Japanese garden such as stone lanterns, pine trees, a waterfall and a pond. The gardens were completed in 1987 to symbolize the friendship between 91大黄鸭 and Kasugai, Japan, sister cities since 1981.
