Skating in Your Neighbourhood
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.
Please note: Rinks are dependent on volunteers. If you are interested in joining the rinks team as a volunteer, please reach out to info@riverbenonline.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.
Brookside Skating Rinks
Brookside Rinks are located at 53 Avenue & 143 Street, just south of Brookside Elementary School.
