Skating Rink in Thornlodge Park

WINTER 2017

This winter SHORA purchased a new tarp with the hopes of a great skating season and the forecast of a 'typical Canadian Winter', aka COLD, should help us out.  The current deep freeze as helped our natural rink freeze to the best we have seen in years!  We hope you have been able to enjoy the rink so far this winter!  If you have any pictures, we would love to see them!

If you can help with flooding the rink (done in pairs) and/or keeping the rink shoveled when it snows, please email info@shora.ca.  We can't make this happen without our awesome volunteers!

 

Winter 2016!

**UPDATE**

This winter SHORA purchased a new tarp with the hopes of a great skating season and the forecast of a 'typical Canadian Winter', aka COLD, should help us out.  The rink has been flooded several times and we are currently waiting for the layers to freeze.

With colder temperatures upon us, SHORA is working to bring the natural ice rink back to Thornlodge Park.  In order to make this a success, we are looking for volunteers to help with the maintenance of the rink.

Winter 2015

With the help of the City of Mississauga, SHORA and our incredible volunteers worked diligently to bring the community an outdoor skating rink in Thornlodge Park during the winter of 2015.  We had many challenges, but were able to create a usable rink on approximately half of the original surface.  We are hoping that with the city's help, we will be able to have the area graded in order to create a wonderful outdoor rink to use throughout the winter of 2016.
