People Skating at the Brick Works

Free Public Skate

The Evergreen Brick Works outdoor skating rink weaves through snow-covered gardens under exposed beams from the roof of the old brick factory.

Our Public Skating has closed for this season. Check out the dates and times below to see last season’s Free Public Skate dates and times.

Details, dates and times

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.

FAQ

What do we do in inclement weather?

In the case of warm weather or extreme weather, Evergreen will cancel lessons & close public skating.

What do I wear to public skating?
  • A CSA-approved helmet is mandatory for all skaters aged 6 and under. Helmet rentals are free of charge!
  • Skates must be worn on the ice. You can bring your own or rent from us.
  • Please dress warmly as our skating rink has an open roof!
Are pets allowed in Koerner Gardens?

Please note pets are not allowed in Koerner Gardens, where the skating rink is located.

Can I rent skates when I’m there?
