The Parks department maintains a total of six boarded rinks, six snow bank rinks and three natural ice surfaces. Outdoor rinks are flooded once the temperature drops to, and maintains a constant -10 degrees Celsius for a minimum of one week. Outdoor rinks are available for all residents to use and enjoy on a first come, first served basis. The City of Airdrie does not book outdoor rinks or ice surfaces.

The storm ponds found within many Airdrie communities are not maintained by the City and are not recommended for recreational use. 

Remember to always skate with a partner, wear appropriate warm clothing and safety gear including a helmet.

During winter months, natural surfaces will be plowed only when they measure between 10 to 12 inches. Current measurements will be listed when available.
