Free Skating in Niagara

White Meadows Farms

This is the fourth year that White Meadows has been offering skating at the farm. I believe it is $2 (not free) per person to skate. I put this at the top of my list because there is so much to do there other than skating. There is also a toboggan hill, and a petting zoo area (free). From February to March they also have sugar bush tours. If you get cold they have a "Pancake House" that serves all-day breakfast.


Rink at the Brink

This is located in Niagara Falls. There are free skate days which they list on their website each year. This year (2012) you can skate for free January 9, 16 & 30th; February 13th. There is also free parking! It is open daily from December-February.

Woodlawn Park


Woodlawn Park is located in Welland on Woodlawn road at Northwood. In the winter the pond freezes over and makes a sweet local rink. It is free to skate on and available at all hours!


Its a sweet place to hang out with friends or play some hockey on your down-time from school. It is an easy walk from residence/fist ave and especially convenient for those living in the Northwood area.




Chippewa Park


Chippewa Park has a pond in the summer where you can do feed ducks, turtles and fish. In the winter though, it freezes over and is maintained as a rink. 


Civic Square


This is located in front of City Hall/Library on Main Street in Welland.  Good, smooth ice but i believe that hockey is not permitted. 






I will keep my eye out for other free skating locations and upload some pictures soon!
