Skating Rinks

This seasonal rink offers a 3 on 3 hockey setup and is equipped with rink lights, providing the perfect opportunity for some outdoor ice fun. While it’s open daily from 7:00 am to 9:00 pm, please note that rentals are not allowed. The rink’s availability depends on consistent temperatures below freezing, and entirely volunteer-run by Peachland Fire and Rescue volunteers. They appreciate skaters shovelling the rink after use, as it helps save their volunteers time and maintains the surface conditions. To ensure the park’s preservation, please respect the posted signage, and when conditions are ideal, the rink is freshly flooded nightly at 9:00 pm. Photo Credit: Peachland Fire and Rescue Service.
