When the temperature climbs above 0 degrees centigrade we close and lock the rinks to ensure that no one is injured when the ice gets soft. The rinks will also be closed in extremely cold weather (-25°C, which includes wind chill).
Changeroom and Washrooms Pilot (2025)
In 2025, there was a Brookside Hall Skating Changeroom Pilot Project. The changeroom and washrooms inside the hall were open most Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. On Fridays and Saturdays from 4-8pm and Sundays from 1-5pm. There was an attendant on site.
Skating in Your Community
Sharpen those blades and enjoy some winter fun with friends or family at our community’s Brookside Rinks! Skating is free with a community league membership – just wear your skate tag! We offer two rinks, one for shinny hockey and one for social skating (no sticks/no pucks).
Our Brookside rinks are owned, built and maintained by the Riverbend Community League. Please purchase a membership and support your league. Rinks are dependent on volunteers. If you are interested in joining the rinks team as a volunteer, please reach out to info@riverbendonline.ca.
Your Community League Membership and Skate Tags are valid for skating at all Edmonton Community League Rinks, including at nearby Brookview and The Ridge Community Leagues.
