FREE OUTDOOR SKATING IN GREATER MONCTON

Please note: Outdoor rinks are weather-dependent. Dieppe’s Oval at Place 1604 & Moncton’s Ian Fowler Oval at the Avenir Centre are refrigerated and can open earlier than other rinks, but may still close due to rain, etc.

Lace up your skates, grab a helmet, and enjoy all the outdoor rinks you can find!

In Moncton, enjoy skating on the Ian Fowler Oval at Avenir Centre (open 10am-10pm), as well as in Centennial Park. (One rink in the park is designated for hockey, while everyone can enjoy the 618m Muskrat Skating Trail, with lights on into the evening.) There is an outdoor rink behind the Rotary Pavilion at Mapleton Park, as well as one at Victoria Park. (Check the status of rinks & more on the city’s site.)

The City of Moncton also partners with neighbourhood volunteers to create skating rinks in some community parks.
