Work is underway on some exciting improvements at Evergreen Brick Works to create a safer, more accessible and climate-resilient space. Everything you love about the Brick Works is still here, including Picnic Café and the Evergreen Garden Market, which will remain open during construction.
The Evergreen Brick Works outdoor skating rink weaves through snow-covered gardens under exposed beams from the roof of the old brick factory.
Join us for another season of Free Public Skating at Evergreen Brick Works! Whether you’re skating with your family, meeting up with a friend or connecting with a stranger, this program is the perfect opportunity to get outside, get active and connect with community during the winter season. Where else in the city can you skate under the beams of a historic brick factory? It truly is an experience that you won’t want to miss!
Our public skating will reopen this winter, weather permitting. For more information, please contact skating@evergreen.ca.

In the case of warm weather or extreme weather, Evergreen will cancel lessons & close public skating. As weather conditions may change unexpectedly, cancellation may be issued after class or public skating has started. Updates about public skating can be found on our website and instagram pages.
Extreme Weather is classified as:
Personal Cancellations: To be eligible for a session refund, cancellations must be requested in writing to skating@evergreen.ca no later than 10 business days prior to the session start date. Late registration (within 10 business days of class start) will not be eligible for refund. No refunds will be issued if a reservation is cancelled within 10 business days of the session start date. In addition, no partial refunds will be offered for missed days. Otherwise, fees are 75% refundable (25% of fees will be retained as an administration fee). Please note, registrations are non-transferable.
Refund requests within 10 business days of the session start date can only be granted for extraordinary circumstances or major medical reasons. All requests must be received in writing and submitted to skating@evergreen.ca and will be considered on a case-by-case basis by the Program Manager. Please note, mild illnesses (i.e., common cold & flu) and changes in personal circumstances are not considered valid for refund.
Evergreen Cancellations: Evergreen will issue an email to all household emails in case of cancellation. Please note, participants are responsible for checking your household email for updates on rink conditions/lesson cancellations. Should Evergreen cancel 3 or more lessons in one session, a refund will be issued to participants. If 1 or 2 lessons in one session are cancelled by Evergreen, no refunds will be provided. Private lessons are an exception – private lessons cancelled by Evergreen will be refunded.
Please note pets are not allowed in Koerner Gardens, where the skating rink is located.
We have skates (in all sizes) and helmets available to rent. Helmet rentals are free of charge. Skate rentals are available for a suggested fee of $5 per pair; which will go directly towards supporting free programing at Evergreen Brick Works.
Free Public Skating is an indoor-outdoor experience! The roof of Koerner Gardens is open.
